Do you mean the Westminster Kennel Club show? If so, none have won Best In Show.
Because it allows the judge to ensure that the dog has proper and healthy reproductive organs. It may seem gross, but the judge wants to have the most well-rounded and healthy dogs win.
I have no idea what it looks like, and you shouldn't use the internet to answer stuff. No experence would be gained.
The following is a list of all the Sporting (Gundog) Group breeds:
This depends on the contest, first place means 1st in that category, best in show means the very best over all the other catagories.
As this was the first ever Crufts, the show was never really a success, and records were not kept of the original winner. The first organised Crufts show winner was an English Greyhound called PRIMLEY SCEPTRE.
A Staffordshire Bull Terrier wins Best of Breed every year. Best of Breed is the Best dog from each breed, so there will always be one from the Staffy breed. This year (2011) a red Staffordshire Bull Terrier came third in Best in Group but a Staffy has never won Best in Show.
She didnt know that she was supposed to walk with the dog at the dog show. When she found out she was very suprised and she left! before it was her turn to go on even though it was a fundraiser.
Two protesters from PETA tried to interrupt judging of Best In Show by coming down the aisle with signs. They were escorted outside of the building quickly by security guards.
MBISS means Multiple Best in Specialty Show. A specialty show is a show sponsored by a breed club and is intended as a way for many dogs of the same breed to compete with each other at once. A dog who has won Best In Specialty Show multiple times will receive the MBISS title.
Ch. means Champion. If a dog wins certain placements in a show, they earn points depending on the placement and how many other dogs they beat. Once they get to a specific number of points, they will receive the Ch. title and be considered a champion.
2nd Answer:
Find an all breed dog club in your area and join it, they will helpto guide you in what all is needed in order to enter an AKC Dog Show. They will probably have conformation classes to help train you inhow to show your dog correctly in the AKC dog shows. You also need to get on the Supervisors Lists of each AKC dog show so that theywill mail you out a Premium which is where you register your dog and pay your fees to entereach AKC dog show. Make sure you have someone who has experience in showing in AKC dog shows help you to fill out the entry form as it goes by age and color in some breeds as to what class you will be showing in. They will then send you back an entry form telling you how many other dogs of your breed are being shown and what ring and time you are showing at. It is a must that you get on the Supervisors mailing Lists for the AKC dog shows in the areas you want to show. Your dog must be AKC registered too and not spayed or neutered. If you dog is spayed or neutered you can still enter your dog in the obedience or agility classes but not the conformation classes.

Yes, a Westie named Ch. Dianthus Buttons won Best In Show at Crufts in 1976. Another Westie named Ch. Olac Moon Pilot won in 1990.
To compete in the regular portion of a conformation match (dog show) your age doesn't matter, and neither does the age of the dog. However, to take part in Juniors (which is where the handler is judged vs. the dog being judged as in regular competition) it varies based on the kennel club. CKC, UKC, and AKC all have their own rules. Generally though, I believe the average accepted age is 6 to 18. If you visit the websites for each of the clubs, they do have details and rules posted for Junior Handling.
It organizes the dogs instead of saying their names they give them numbers and it means what order the dogs are in.
At the Westminster dog show in 2008, a Toy Poodle named Ch. Smash Jp Win A Victory won first in the toy group.
If the AJC is before the dog's name in the catalog, when the results of judging are known, then the AJC stands for "Absent due to Judge Change."
Judging was scheduled from 8 am to 11 pm on Monday, February 9th and Tuesday, February 10th.
After the release of the very biased documentary called Pedigree Dogs Exposed, The Kennel Club (which sanctions Crufts) was criticized and several of their sponsors decided to drop their partnership. The BBC decided to stop showing Crufts because they could not reach agreeable terms with The Kennel Club.
you have to be 9 years old and make sure your dog is regiserted in crufts before you enter.
The first step, if you don't know whether your dog is of sufficient quality for its breed, is to get it evaluated by someone experienced with the breed. They will look over the dog's body and temperament and determine how closely it meets the standard for its breed. If they think the dog is show-quality (note, the dog also cannot be spayed or neutered to be entered in conformation), and your dog has had enough basic training and socialization to be well-behaved around other dogs and humans, purchase a show lead, have your breed expert teach you how to groom your dog for the ring for its breed (or learn online or from a book if you must), and find a good handling class in your area.
The handling class, generally taught by someone experienced with dog shows, will teach you how to display your dog to its best advantage, how to do the different patterns in which you may be asked to have the dog trot around the ring, help you gauge how fast you should be making your dog trot so that it looks its best, etc. When you feel comfortable with your ability--or just feel up to the challenge, find a local show and fill out the entry form.
Your dog must be intact, purebred, and registered with your country's kennel club. Fill out all of the spaces on the form, include the entry fee, and mail it to the person listed as the show secretary. Your entry confirmation should come after he/she receives the entry.
Follow your trainer's advice on when to enter the show. Get to the show early--often you'll have to check in. Make sure the dog is comfortable, and it is often best to keep him/her crated during the long waits. Make sure you know which ring you're supposed to be in and at what time, and pay attention! Some breeds with lower entries may take less time than expected, and breeds with higher entries may take longer. Make sure you're wearing your armband and your dog is properly groomed. Dogs often become stressed at shows, so keep an eye on him/her and take him/her to a quieter area as necessary. Also make sure to walk him/her before going in the ring, and often offering a drink of water before going in is a good idea as well--just make sure the dog's whiskers are dry if you have a breed that carries much coat around its muzzle.
Follow the judge's instructions, stay calm, and have fun. Show in smaller shows first, then, if you like it and your dog is suited, in larger ones.
The founder of the show was named Charles Cruft, so there is no meaning necessarily; the show is named after him.
