Giant schnauzer Monty won Best in Show at the 149th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show on February 11, 2025, marking the first win for his breed. The event, held at Madison Square Garden, is America's oldest dog show, dating back to 1877. Monty beat six other finalists, including a whippet named Bourbon, who came in second. The show celebrates purebred dogs, with winners receiving trophies but no cash prize. Many of the competing dogs also serve as household pets, therapy animals, and in search-and-rescue roles.
