Trogg- Showsight Magazine 2021

A six-year-old Black Russian Terrier from Franklin named Trogg is competing in the 145th Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show this weekend in Tarrytown, NY for the second year in a row. Only the top five dogs in each breed across the nation receive an invitation to the Westminster Dog Show, making this a highlight of Trogg’s career.

Wasabi will be adding another trophy to his loaded case. 

The Pekingese was named Best in Show at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show on Sunday, beating out reserve winner Bourbon, the whippet. Wasabi has already proved that he’s one of the best show dogs, having been named the American Kennel Club national champion in 2019. Bourbon was the AKC champion in 2020. 

What kind of treats will Wasabi be getting for winning Best in Show? 

“He can have a filet mignon,” handler and breeder David Fitzpatrick said after Wasabi won Best in Show, “and I’ll have champagne.”

Whoa, the Pekingese is from Pennsylvania! That means the current president AND ruling dog are both from Pennsylvania. This is going to play very well … in Pennsylvania.

It always comes back to the swing states. Can’t escape them. Even when it comes to heavily blow-dried dog shows with mysteriously oversized ribbons.

June 13, 2021, 11:04 p.m. ET

I’m glad the Pekingese won because it proves none of us understood at all what we were watching or talking about. Wasabi has taught us all humility. Arigato, Wasabi!

June 13, 2021, 11:02 p.m. ET

Now we get an interview with the winning trainer. How will Wasabi celebrate? With a filet mignon, his trainer says.
