His agent Linda Pitts says the Puli Field of Dreams has done it all now and gets to retire after this show. He repeated as winner of the herding group at the Westminster Kennel Clug Dog Show Monday night at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Wait a minute. Best in Show is Tuesday night, right?
"That's just icing on the cake,' she says. "This win is what really matters to us. A Puli has never won best in show, so we're not expecting it.'
Second and third, respectively, were the Belgian Sheep Dog and Bearded Collie. A German Shepherd was fourth.
The only other dog that won group last year that is returning is the Scottish Terrier Sadie, who has to win her breed event Tuesday morning in order to advance to to the highly competitive terrier group Tuesday evening. She's the No. 1 dog in the country. Wynn Casino says the breed's odds are 8/1.
Other Tuesday groups: sporting (with all those labrador retrievers and golden retrievers) and working.
Winners of the seven groups advance to Best in Show competition.
