Miniature poodle named Sage wins Westminster Kennel Club dog show

  • By JENNIFER PELTZ Associated Press

A miniature poodle named Sage has won the top prize at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show. Sage bested six other finalists to claim the best in show award Tuesday night at the United States' most illustrious canine event. A German shepherd named Mercedes placed second. Each stood, strode and sought to shine before the judge at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, the home of the U.S. Open tennis tournament. In all, more than 2,500 dogs spanning about 200 breeds and varieties entered the show. They're judged according to which one best matches the "standard," or ideal, for its breed.
