NEW YORK — Sky the wire fox terrier became America’s top dog Tuesday night, winning best in show at the Westminster Kennel Club.
The No. 1 show dog in the country last year, Sky went wire to wire.
She beat out a standard poodle, a Portuguese water dog, bloodhound, an Irish water spaniel, a Cardigan Welsh corgi and a miniature pinscher.
Judge Betty Regina Leininger picked the winner inside a nearly full Madison Square Garden as the fans called out for their favorites. The standard poodle named Ally was chosen as the runner-up.
This was the record 14th time a wire fox terrier has won at the nation’s top dog show. No other breed has won more than eight times.
