Doberman named Penny wins Westminster dog show

Penny, a 4-year-old Doberman pinscher, won Best in Show at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show, capturing the most prestigious dog show prize in the United States.



Penny cut ⁠a majestic stance in the final round of judging, when the finalists of seven groups competed at New York City's Madison Square Garden.



The champion ⁠of the working group beat more than 3,000 dogs from all 50 states and 17 countries that competed in the 150th annual event.



The winners of each of the 202 competing breeds advanced to compete for one of seven group titles, with each group winner moving on to the finals.



Penny's handler Andy Linton, who has spoken publicly about his diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, also handled the winning Doberman ⁠named Indy the last time the breed won Best in Show, in 1989.
