Wire fox terriers are still King at Westminster.

A wire fox from Brazil who91裸聊视频檚 won big in Europe became America91裸聊视频檚 top dog Tuesday night, beating out a crowd-pleasing longhaired dachshund and popular Sussex spaniel.

There were some boos 91裸聊视频� along with modest cheers 91裸聊视频� at Madison Square Garden when judge Peter Green pointed at the 7-year-old King.

91裸聊视频淚t doesn91裸聊视频檛 get any better than that,91裸聊视频� handler Gabriel Rangel said.

The win was hardly a surprise.

Wire fox terriers have won 15 times at the nation91裸聊视频檚 most prestigious dog show, far more than any other breed (Scottish terriers are second, with eight).

Green is a renowned figure in the dog world, especially for his work with terriers. He91裸聊视频檚 previously picked King as the champ at other shows.

Wired to win, this dog was.

91裸聊视频淚 look at King, he91裸聊视频檚 like a beautiful painting, a piece of art,91裸聊视频� Rangel praised earlier in the day. 91裸聊视频淭he way he stands and performs, he91裸聊视频檚 the whole package.91裸聊视频�

A Havanese named Bono came in second among the more than 2,800 dogs who entered here.

Also in the final ring were Bean the Sussex spaniel, Burns the longhaired dachshund, Wilma the boxer and Baby Lars the bouviers des Flandres.

The fan favourites at the Garden were clearly Bean and Burns.

Chants of 91裸聊视频淏ean! Bean! Bean!91裸聊视频� bounced around the packed arena as the Sussex spaniel rounded the ring. And Burns drew loud cheers as his long hair flowed while circling the green carpet.

There was a bit of dog show drama, too, at the 143rd Westminster Kennel Club.

A day after earning a coveted spot in the final ring of seven, spirited Colton the schipperke was ruled ineligible for best in show.

There was a conflict of interest 91裸聊视频� Green91裸聊视频檚 longtime partner has co-owned dogs with one of Colton91裸聊视频檚 co-owners. Colton was allowed to run around the ring, then was excused.

91裸聊视频淭his doesn91裸聊视频檛 negate all he91裸聊视频檚 done here,91裸聊视频� handler Christa Cook said as she brushed Colton91裸聊视频檚 colt backstage at the Garden. 91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 been a great experience, his accomplishment is in the book forever.91裸聊视频�

Wagging his tail, the tri-colored King was completely in control under Rangel, who won for the third time at Westminster.

Rangel teared up in the middle of the ring after the win, overwhelmed by the moment and the recognition from Green.

91裸聊视频淪pecial win because of that judge,91裸聊视频� Rangel said.

Neither he nor King will have much time to rest.

Wednesday91裸聊视频檚 victory lap includes visits to morning television shows, a steak lunch at midtown eatery Sardi91裸聊视频檚, a trip up the Empire State Building and a walk-on part in the Broadway musical 91裸聊视频淧retty Woman.91裸聊视频�

Owner Victor Malzoni Jr. of Brazil gets no prize money for this win. Besides a shiny silver bowl, the reward comes in lucrative breeding rights and a lifetime of bragging rights.

This was the 47th overall best in show win for the wire fox with a full name of Kingarthur Van Foliny Home. He91裸聊视频檚 also done well at the largest dog show in the world, Crufts in England.

Packed with personality, Burns had all the qualities of a Westminster champion.

He had a great coat. He had a wonderful gait. He had a playful spirit.

But did he have the right combination to become the big winner here? His body of work said yes. History said no.

91裸聊视频淏est in show breeds need the flash to compete,91裸聊视频� handler Carlos Puig said in the afternoon.

Despite always being among the nation91裸聊视频檚 most popular dogs, a dachshund has never won best in show at Westminster. Neither has a Havanese, schipperke or bouviers des Flandres.

Rangel twice previously guided terriers to best in show at Westminster 91裸聊视频� Sadie the Scottie in 2010 and Sky the wire fox in 2014.

That91裸聊视频檚 a lot better showing than popular golden retrievers and Labs. They91裸聊视频檝e never taken the top title at Westminster.

91裸聊视频淚 love goldens. They91裸聊视频檙e so sweet, you just want to hold them,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淏ut they don91裸聊视频檛 have that sharp expression.91裸聊视频�
