In Pictures: The 149th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show

Monty, a giant Schnauzer, was best appointed in the show on Tuesday night on the 149th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.

“He always tries so hard, and I’m so proud of him,” Monty’s owner and trading, Katie Bernardin, said in an interview with Fox Sports 1.

Monty is the first gigantic Schnauzer to ever win the Show to take place in New York’s Madison Square Garden and is the second best continuous sporting event in the United States.

More than 2,500 dogs representing all 50 US states competed this year.
