Once again, a Poodle has taken home top honors at Madison Square Garden.
Siba the Standard Poodle was crowned Best in Show at the 144th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show on Tuesday night, beating out six other finalists who had advanced to the final round out of their own categories. The four-year-old came out of the Non-Sporting Group.
It marks the fifth time a Standard Poodle has won the show.
“We think she’s beautiful and has that special something,” Chrystal Murray, Siba’s handler, said. “Hopefully that’s what [the judge] saw.”
“I really can’t see any drawbacks about this breed,” she added.
