Flynn, a bichon frise, won in a prestigious purebred dog competition. It is uncommon for this breed to win such a competition, so dog lovers were ecstatic when one took home the trophy.
The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show competition took place at Madison Square Garden in midtown Manhattan, New York City, and was won by a tiny, white champion who bested six other contestants. This event lasted for two days and is held annually.
Ty, a large schnauzer and the competition’s second-best reserve, was one of the contestants. A borzoi, a pug, a Sussex spaniel, a border collie, and a Norfolk terrier were chosen as the top dogs in their respective dog categories from the remaining five candidates. This year, more than 2,880 dogs of 201 breeds and colors competed in the Westminster Kennel Club competition.
This makes it the second-oldest sporting event in the United States, after the Kentucky Derby. The bichon frise is known for its attractive appearance, white, fluffy hair, and gorgeous face with dark eyes and a black nose.
McFadden, Flynn’s manager, stated that many individuals find this breed amusing. They like entertaining others with their intelligence and inherent talent. Their appearance can make people chuckle or at least smile. Since 1907, the bichon frise has only once won Best in Show, according to research from the Westminster Kennel Club.
Wire fox terriers are the most recognized champions, having won the Westminster Dog Show 14 times.
There are seven divisions at the Westminster Dog Show in which dogs compete. Using features shared by hounds, herding, terriers, toy, sporting, and working dogs, they evaluated more breeds.
The Westminster Kennel Club reports that dogs from all 50 U.S. states and 16 other countries, including Japan, China, Canada, Russia, Mexico, and Australia, participated in the competition. Rumor, a female German shepherd, earned Best in Show at last year’s tournament.
