Monty’s Charm for the third time at the 149th Westminster Dog Show at Madison Square Garden Tuesday night.
The match was fierce this year, with seven competitors representing their breed, and Monty took away the team’s victory for the third straight year.
However, this is the first time Monty has been named the Best Performance, and it is the first time the task force has won the Westminster Dog Show since 2004.

After being quarantined two days before the competition, Judge Paula Nikil faces a challenge to award the best performance to one of seven incredible dogs before settling in Monty.
It’s her ninth year of judging the show, and she says the job is “awesome” but “difficult”.
