''Miss P'': best in show at Westminster Kennel Club

A 15in beagle named Miss P is the toast of New York after being named best in show at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show on Tuesday.

Here’s everything you need to know about America’s new top dog.

The win was rare.
Only once in 138 previous years had a beagle won best in show at Westminster, when the hugely popular Uno captured the top honor in 2008. The two are in fact related: Miss P is Uno’s grand-neice, though they’ve never met.

That's more like it! A dog that looks like a dog and can function as it was intended. Very handsome indeed. Well done Mis P!!

A Beagle. I find it funny how hard groomers work to groom the fluffy breeds etc. and then a short haired breed such as a Beagle wins. I think the American Foxhound won last time... or maybe that was a few years back. In any case, she's quite cute and despite the string up her neck, looks quite proud.

A beautiful dog and a real credit to her breeder and owners! If I'm not mistaken the "string" up her neck is actually a lightweight nylon show lead normally used in the show ring.

I know what the "string" is, that is just what I call it. Show strings, we call them actually.
