NEW YORK - A colored bull terrier called Rufus used his head Tuesday night to become America’s top dog.

The tan and white mix won Best in Show at the Westminster Kennel Club in New York, beating out six strong contenders and drawing a rousing ovation from the sellout crowd at Madison Square Garden. Rufus’ selling point? His head - perfectly shaped like an egg. „The classic profile of a colored bull terrier”, judge James Reynolds said.
Rufus was the first dog in his breed to win at the nation’s most prestigious show. Handler Kathy Kirk said she was „ready to pass out” from the pressure, but her nearly 6 year old dog that she playfully calls ”Puppyhead” seemed to take it all in stride.
The show drew 2,622 entries in 165 breeds and varieties. Terriers have dominated in 130 years of Westminster, now winning 44 of 99 times that Best in Show has been presented. (World)
