NEW YORK (Reuters) -- A peppy Scottish terrier known as Sadie was crowned the nation's top dog on Tuesday, winning Best in Show at the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club championship.

Sadie, a jet-black four-year-old bitch formally known as Ch Roundtown Mercedes of Maryscot, displayed the ideal combination of breeding standards and confidence, beating out 2,500 entrants at the 134-year-old dog show.

"She's the total package," marveled Elliot Weiss, of Eagle, Idaho, who judged the Best in Show round before a cheering, capacity crowd at Madison Square Garden.

"This is the complete dog ... That's what you want a Scottie to look like," said Weiss.

I heard PETA made an appearance.

Scotties smell funny. 10 mins after a bath mine would smell gamey.

One of the most incorrigible dogs around. Worse than my Jack Russell.

One of which he might have actually deserved: “This is the complete dog”

My parents have two young Scotties. For the first 20 minutes after a visitor walks in the front door, they bark loudly and incessantly and are completely unable and unwilling to STFU. Somehow, once that time threshold passes, they’re pretty good dogs. Strange little creatures, terriers.

I was SO glad that the nObama-Dog got bounced in the group finals. Being the judge was from the Bay Air-head area, I was afraid she'd go all politically correct on us.
