Beagle Wins Westminster Honours

18 Feb 08

For the first time in 132 years, a beagle has won Best in Show at the prestigious American Westminster Kennel Club (NY) dog show held annually at Madison Square Garden.

Uno, the sassy beagle, fought off competition from 2,600 dogs, including an elegant Sealyham terrier, a standard poodle, a Weimeraner, an Atika, a toy poodle and an Australian sheep dog.

Sadly, not a dachshund in sight of the short list.

Well, well done to Uno, and better luck to the competing American dachshunds next year.

Awoof! Archibald
