On Tuesday night, New Yorks Madison Square Garden really went to the dogs. Quite literally: the stadium was packed with a crowd cheering on their favorites but not for the Knicks, not Phish, not even Harry Styles. This time, they were assembled for the 144th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. And an hour before midnight, the champion was finally crowned: Siba the standard poodle, a surprise to a crowd rooting for the golden retriever and Havanese fan favorites.
She just has this confidence in herself, this attitude. She keeps me on her toes. Shes so elegant and full of herself and funny, Sibas handler Chrystal Clas told reporters before the big win.
Her owners had already decided that it was Sibas time to retire after this Westminster round, making the win all the sweeter. We think shell be a great mom, Clas said just after the show finished. Even better: shell be retiring to live with Clas and her family, including her two-year-old son, who Clas says loves Siba already.
