The breed that made it to number 5 on the AKC's "Top Ten Breeds of 2007" made it to #1 as "Best In Show" at The Westminster Kennel Club 132nd Annual Dog Show yesterday, Tuesday February 12th, 2008.
CH K-Run's Park Me in First a.k.a. Uno, a 3 year old, tri-colored, 15-inch beagle, was the first hound to win the coveted title ever since 1983, triumphing over a toy poodle that had 108 best in show prizes at the start of the day. Prior to his "Best In Show" win, Uno also nabbed the #1 position in the hound group, to become the first beagle to achieve such a win since 1939.
Competing against Uno were a Sealyham Terrier winner of the Terrier group, a Weimaraner winner of the Sporting group, an Australian Shepherd winner of the Herding group, an Akita winner of the Working group, a Standard Poodle winner of the Non-Sporting group and a Toy Poodle winner of the Toy group.
The Beagle breed has always been and continues to be an American favorite.
