As a proud owner of a beagle, I’m happy to say that history has been made.The 132nd Westminster Kennel Club dog show was held recently, and for the first time since 1939 a beagle won the hound group. Way to go!
But he didn’t stop there. The 15-inch beautiful Uno ended up winning Best in Show, the first beagle to win the coveted title in the history of the event.
One of the most endearing attributes of this little guy is his personality. According to an article in the New York Times:
“At some point when he shows, Uno bays, for no reason other than to say his piece … ‘He bayed at the judge,’ Wilkerson [the handler] said. ‘He does it on his own. He’s saying to the judge, ‘Look at me.’ So he just plants his feet and bays away.’ The judge, Ralph Lemcke, said he had no memory of being bayed at. But he said he will remember Uno, whom he had never seen before.”
Uno’s not only a winner, but he’s a memorable history-maker with character.
I love historic events.
I love beagles.
It doesn’t get any better than this. :)
