This year’s Best in Show was awarded to a bloodhound named Trumpet. Below are images from this week’s competition and preliminary activities held at the Lyndhurst estate, in Tarrytown, New York.

2. I fell asleep last night and missed "Best in Show" round -

So bummed out this morning! I've been rooting for Nathan the Bloodhound for several years and last night Nathan's son, Trumpet, won Best in Show. Argh! I give some of the credit to Nathan for breaking the barrier - he drew more and more attention over the several years he participated.

Also - I really appreciate the fact that more and more of the show dogs are showing their true doggy personalities, like the dogs who jump into the arms of their handler after a round is over. In past, when punishment was used to shape behavior I couldn't watch because the handlers looked mean and the dogs looked miserable.
