Doberman Penny wins Westminster Best in Show marking breed's fifth victory
Penny, a statuesque Doberman pinscher, captured Best in Show at the 150th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show Tuesday, marking the breed's fifth historic victory. Handler Andy Linton secured the win 37 years after his first triumph. The event honored "Best in Show" star Catherine O'Hara as Cota, a Chesapeake Bay retriever, and Wager, a smooth fox terrier, claimed group titles. Penny bested top contenders in New York to take the coveted prize.
