There was “no doubt in [her] The mind ”that her four-legged friend knew that he won at the moment-thought that she said Monty’s behavior changed from excited to anxious after she was crying.

“I never cry – this is not an emotion he used,” said Bernard, who lives in Chaplin, Connecticut. “You can see in the video he is watching me, like, ‘what’s wrong? I thought we won.

Monty has competed in more than 100 dog shows alone this year alone with Bernard, who is also his owner and holder – a rarity in dog races.

“For her to be my dog ​​in which I believe and watched to grow, it was madness to see them all unfolding,” she said. “I knew he was special when he was a child.”

“I still have a hard time believing that it really happened,” laughed Bernard. “Although the ribbon is sitting in my kitchen, I just look at it and I think,” there is no way. “

This was Monty’s third win for the Westminster Working Group, but it is the first time the group – educated to participate and known to be intelligent, strong, vigilant and alarm – has the first place since 2004, ending the longest drought for each group in competitions.

“For him to be the first giant Schnauzer, it just looks surreal,” Bernardin said. “We are so lucky. It is rare for a dog to win a group three times, so it is an honor to win a group once there. “

“I just couldn’t be proud of our dog,” she added.

Westminster Kennel Club President Don Sturz noted that Bernard and Monty are “so close” that he added “another level” to performance.

“At the end of all, the best winner in the show is a great dog that has a great night, just as a great athlete can have a great game,” Sturz the post told the post. “There is only something about a special dog that simply catches our heart and connects at that moment.”

“[Monty] owned the ring that night. He was a stallion of a dog that night, ”Sturz said.

“You never go there you think you will go well on the show; you just go and hope for the best,” said Bernard, 39. Andrew Schwartz / SplashNews.com

The Westminster Dog Show, which will celebrate its 150th anniversary next year, is the second biggest event to be constantly developing in America, after only Derby-and Sturz said these moments of making history are a significant part of the show story.

“It’s a great testament that any dog ​​can win at the show in Westminster,” Sturz said. “Anydo of these dogs can make it to the top. There is no shape. There is no expectation, so I want when that happens.”

“His heart and his charisma and his attitude simply hold it. He never, he never stops trying, “Bernard added.” He loves him, he likes to be a show dog and likes to be the center of attention. I think that attitude really helps him in the exhibition room. “

Although Monty went out to the top at the show, the giant schnazers are not “a race for everyone”, noted Bernard.

“They are not a domestic animal for dog owners for the first time, they are an extreme job,” she said. “They are dogs who work, so they are supposed to be busy. They need discipline. They must be taught to be a gentleman, not wild.”

“We love Monty, but he was difficult when he was young,” Barnard said, adding that dog lefters should not go out immediately to buy a giant Schnauzer after his victory without thinking it.

“You have to have a dedication to them. They are very smart for their good and will always keep you on your fingers. “
