Best in Show
Josh, a big and gleaming black Newfoundland, has strutted his way to victory at the 128th Westminster Kennel Club show.
Hi I am Josh.
I am the best dog.
Yeah, thats right.
You better love me.
I am the best.
Best Dog Ever!!

Josh tied for the biggest dog ever to win at Westminster at 155-pound (70 kg). The other one was the only other Newfoundland to win, back in 1984. Make no mistake, though: Josh is no clumsy canine. He glided in the Garden, his shiny coat reflecting the spotlight.
To become the best of the 2,624 entries and win his 46th best in show title, Josh beat an impressive lineup. Coco was the nation's No. 1 show dog last season, while a Pekingese called Les, a standard poodle named Miki and an Ibizan hound called Bunny made it to the top seven for the second straight year.
The 4-year-old Newf, officially called Darbydale's All Rise Pouchcove from Flemington, N.J., also was a repeat winner in his group. And he had one major factor in his favor: Yamada was the same judge who picked him to win the working group last year. ¶ 2/12/2004 12:26:00 AM
