Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is underway, with pups strutting their stuff and showing off their skills. This year marks the 149th show for the annual event in which thousands of dogs compete in categories including show,

The all-time winningest dog-owner team remains Heart, a Labrador retriever, and her trainer/owner Linda Brennan from Columbia, Warren County. Starting with the very first obedience competition, the duo soared to victory so many times — five — that they retired the trophy and could no longer compete at Westminster after 2020.

They are among the most popular dogs in the United States, but at the biggest dog show in the world, they are never (never!) best in show.
