Siba, a 3-year-old standard poodle, was the big winner Tuesday night at the 144th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, with the judges naming her Best in Show.
A whippet named Bourbon came in second. "She's just a great dog," Siba's co-owner, Connie Unger, told USA Today. "She loves the showing, she's in her element when she's being shown. She's really an all-around great dog." This is the fifth time a standard poodle has been crowned Best in Show, with the previous wins in 1935, 1958, 1973, and 1991.
Siba's handler, Chrystal Clas, said the poodle would celebrate by eating some chicken.
