Champion follows in his grandfather Malachy’s paw prints and gains fifth-ever win for Pekingese
A Pekingese named Wasabi, who is the grandson of a previous winner, has been awarded best in show at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show, notching a fifth victory for the unmistakable toy breed. A whippet named Bourbon was named runner-up.
Waddling through a small-but-mighty turn in the ring on Sunday night, Wasabi clinched the prestigious prize after winning the big American Kennel Club National Championship in 2019.
