Winning Moments for Canadians at Westminster 2017

With an entry of 108 dogs, Canadians shone once again at the 141st Westminster Dog Show, accumulating 65 ‘brags.’

A tribute to the quality and depth of Canadian-bred dogs, Boxer GCh. Mephisto’s Speak Of The Devil won the Working Group Tuesday night, after placing Group 2nd last year. ‘Devlin,’ bred by Michelle and Peter Yeadon and Monika Pinsker of British Columbia, has been a fixture in the American dog-show scene, rising to the No. 2 dog, all breeds, in 2016, with over 54,000 points. (She was the No. 9 dog in 2015.)

Hound group winner GCh. Vin-Melcas Daggarwood Delight was bred by Nicole Casavechia and Kevin Richard of Halifax, Nova Scotia, and was handled by her owner, the incomparable Pat Trotter. Duffy was Canada’s #1 Elkhound in 2013 before leaving for the U.S., where she has been the #1 Elkhound for the past two years. This win marked Mrs. Trotter’s 11th Hound Group 1st. Her previous 10 wins were all as a breeder/owner/handler.

Canadians were also cheering on American Eskimo Dog GChEx Nuuktok’s Atka Inukshuk as he attempted toAEDInukWKC2017.jpg break the tie for the Best of Breed record. The consummate showman, Inuk held his own in tough competition and the judge awarded him Select Dog. Congratulations to Inuk’s breeder/owner Sharon Robertson and handler Graeme Burdon for making Inuk’s ninth consecutive appearance at Westminster a moment to remember. The Akita, Ben, did not return to Westminster after his eighth show, so it would appear that Inuk is still leaving his mark in the history books.
