Oh Westminster, So Much To Answer For

We're really not surprised that a Dachshund didn't take the Hounds, why should anything ever change? Why should a Dachshund ever take a Westminster Best In Show?

A huge congrats to the breed winners though! It's hard work to look so beautiful, and longhair 'Jessie,' smooth 'Natalie,' and wirehair 'Kate' gave it their best to take their Best of Breed. Way to go!
