The 2023 Westminster Dog Show is in full swing, with Day 1 completed.
That means we know some of the winners of each of the seven groups (a reminder: There’s a breed winner, and each of those dogs then compete for the group title, and all the group winners compete for Best in Show. Got it?).
That would be: Herding, Sporting, Non-Sporting, Hound, Terrier, Toy and Working.
So as we head on to Day 2 — which will include a few more Group winners before the night ends with Best in Show — here’s a roundup with photos of those amazing dogs that will compete for the best of the best in 2023.
UPDATE: It now includes the Best in Show winner!
Non-Sporting Group: Winston the French Bulldog
Herding Group: Ribbon the Australian Shepherd
Hound Group: Buddy Holly the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen
Toy Group: Rummie the Pekingese
Sporting Group: Cider the English Setter
