There’s a new top dog at Westminster. And Monty the giant schnauzer, who made history with his Best in Show win at the 149th Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show on Feb. 11, knew it when it happened.

Monty the giant schnauzer recently won the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show - and our hearts. Here are some fun facts about this adorable pup you may not know.

Among the Westminster Dog Show finalists were a bichon frisé, a shih tzu, a whippet, a German shepherd, an English springer spaniel, a giant schnauzer and a Skye terrier.

Monty, a 5-year-old giant schnauzer, was crowned the best in show at the 149th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in New York.

After coming close in the last two years, Monty the giant schnauzer won the top prize at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show Tuesday night, leaving handler and co-owner Katie Bernardin almost too emotional to speak. “He always tries so hard, and we’re just proud of him,” she told the crowd at Madison Square Garden.
