This year, the honor was given to Rumor, a 5-year-old female German shepherd.

The Best in Show Judge Thomas H. Bradley told CNN that German shepherds were all about quality and nobility when the prize was awarded last night.

“When you recognize it, it hits you home, and that’s what it really is. She is just magnificent,” Bradley said.

Best In Show: Rumor, German Shepherd (5 y/o), 141st Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, New York, NY “She loves to play with our cat and Chihuahua. She’s in charge but she lets them think they are.”
