Penny the Doberman Pinscher pulled off a huge win last night, taking home Best in Show at the 2026 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show."
"Penny beat out nearly 2,500 other dogs at Madison Square Garden to grab the top spot. It was a historic night for a few reasons: she's the 42nd female to win, and it's the first time a Doberman has won the whole thing since 1989. Interestingly, the same handler, Andy Linton, was behind both of those wins. Having grown up with an incredibly affectionate Doberman, I love seeing the breed take the top spot."

Judge David Fitzpatrick selected Penny from seven group champions, and Cota the Chesapeake Bay Retriever finished as Reserve Best in Show. The final lineup included winners from Working, Sporting, Herding, and Hound groups.
