Martha Stewart ‘proud’ as dog related to late pooch wins Westminster

In 2012, Stewart’s own Chow Chow, Ghenghis Khan, won Best of Breed at the dog show.

“Ghenghis Khan did it! Best of Breed at Westminster! Big deal,” Stewart tweeted at the time.

This year’s show saw its first bloodhound emerge victorious at the event after being was crowned the Best in Show winner.

The bloodhound, named Trumpet, beat a French bulldog, a German shepherd, a Maltese, an English setter, a Samoyed, and a Lakeland terrier to take the trophy.

Winston, a French bulldog co-owned by NFL defensive lineman Morgan Fox, took second in the nation’s most prestigious dog show.

The competition drew more than 3,000 purebred dogs, ranging from affenpinschers to Yorkshire terriers. The goal is to crown the dog that most represents the ideal for its breed.

Usually held in winter at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, the show moved to the suburban Lyndhurst estate in Tarrytown, N.Y. last year and this year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
