Way to go Penny! π Only 5 Dobermans over 150 years have ever won Westminster!! We love this breed so much, that we have 3 of our own π«£
DOBERMAN βPENNYβ JUST MADE WESTMINSTER HISTORY β AND THE CROWD LOST IT.
Out of roughly 2,500 dogs across 200+ breeds, Penny took Best in Show at the landmark 150th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Even wilder: this is the first Doberman win since 1989 β and the handler tonight was the same legend, Andy Linton, who won back then with another Doberman. Penny, just 4 years old, delivered a razor-sharp performance that had the arena cheering at the final note. Runner-up Chesapeake Bay retriever Cota also got huge applause β especially from retriever fans still waiting for their first-ever Westminster Best in Show.
