Dog of the Year



Stump, a Sussex spaniel, has won this year's Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. At 10, he is the oldest dog ever to win Best in Show.

He's a veteran of this event:

Stump won the sporting group at Westminster in 2004, then went into retirement. Soon after, he nearly wasted away and spent 19 days in a pet hospital.

“It was very traumatic,” Sommer said.

Once he recovered, Stump mostly spent his days hanging out with Sommer, living a dog’s life. That was more than fine with Sommer. He’d handled a great Bichon Frise called J.R. to the best in show at Westminster in 2001, and wasn’t looking for Stump to try again.


Stump's "official" name is Ch Clussexx Three D Grinchy Glee.
