"Sadie Wins!" Announcement at Westminster - Click!
The 4 year old Scottish Terrier “Sadie” (Ch Roundtown Mercedes of Maryscot) won the 134th Westminster competition at Madison Square Garden this evening. Sitting in the press box we were talking during the show and we all had the feeling that this would be Sadie’s night as she looked to be having a great time showing in the terrier group which was just before ”Best in Show.” She was spry, bouncy, and doing her famous “hula” dance as handler Gabriel Rangel waited patiently for their turn to be judged. After winning “Best in Breed” in 2009 here in New York, Sadie went on to have an outstanding year winning the National Dog Show in Philadelphia, The AKC/Eukanuba National Championship, and now Westminster all in a row. Sadie went into Westminster the number one dog in the country. Other favorites, and top dogs this year were a Doberman, Brittany, and a Whippet. It was no suprise that they made it to the Best in Show competition as they have been showing well also this last year. Gabriel has worked hard with Sadie and has capped off one great run of victories with this most presitious of wins in the oldest American Sporting event next to the Kentucky Derby. Congrats to Sadie and Gabriel on one terrific year.
