Monty the giant schnauzer named Westminster’s best in show – as it happened

• Monty the giant schnauzer named America's top dog
• No giant schnauzer had won best in show in history
• Day one: sequins, spectacle and the smell of 2,500 dogs

Spaniel run! Clumber, Black Cocker, Ascob Cocker, Parti-Color Cocker, English Cocker, English Springer, Field, Irish Water, Sussex and Water Springer. Spaniels have historically enjoyed great success at Westminster ever since a Parti-Color with the champion's name Midkiff Miracle Man won the group in the first year it was judged in 1924.

The Clumber, who goes by Houston, seems to be another early crowd favorite.
