During a break between semifinal rounds, security personnel surrounded and ousted someone along the sidelines of the ring. The group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which has protested the dog show for years, said on X that a supporter was removed after holding a sign.

Westminster says it celebrates all dogs. The show champions that compete also are household pets, and some do therapy work, search-and-rescue or other canine jobs.

PETA hates dogs, so getting that person out of there probably saved him/ her from getting clocked.

That Giant Schnauzer is a gorgeous dog.

From Wiki:

A Schnauzer plural Schnauzer, (German: lit. ‘snouter’), is a dog breed type that originated in Germany from the 14th to 16th centuries. The term comes from the German word for “snout” and means colloquially “moustache”, or “whiskered snout”, because of the dog’s distinctively bearded snout. Initially it was called Wire-Haired Pinscher, while Schnauzer was adopted in 1879.

Other finalists included a bichon frisé... a Skye terrier... and a shih tzu

I might be biased but any dog that isn't big enough to rip the throat out of a home invader shouldn't be allowed to compete.....

My wife and I have 2 miniature schnauzers. Our daughter and her husband have 2 giant schnauzers. They are all beautiful, but we have our hands full when our daughter and SIL are traveling and we have 4 dogs in the house.

I refuse to watch unless and until a wiener dog wins.

Long as it wasn’t another poodle or wire fox terrier.

Still waiting for a Komondor to win.

Are that dog’s ears mutilated? They look strange.
