Westminster Prediction Was Oh-So-Close


You have to give Martha Doerner credit.

She was right about Lincoln, the Brussels griffon (below) who survived the competitive Toy Group at Westminster, to advance to Best of Show. She was right that the Brussels would have to beat a gorgeous pug. The pug finished second.

She just didn't account for Stump, the 10-year-old Sussex springer - the Brett Favre of the dog show world who came out of retirement -- to win the title of America's Top Dog.
Best of Show judge Sari Tietjen picked Stump from a field of seven that included a giant schnauzer that was the nation's top show dog, the Brussels griffon, a Scottish deerhound named Tiger Woods, a standard poodle with 94 best in show wins, a Scottish terrier and a puli.

"He showed his heart out," Tietjen said. "He was everything you want."

So, congratulations to Martha on being quite the dog fancier. And we'll cut her a little slack: Stump didn't come out of retirement until just last week.
