An English Springer Spaniel has won Best in Show at the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship. Diamond Jim or James as called by his family, beat over 2,000 dogs to be crowned top dog by judge Robert Forsyth.
He is six years old and a certified therapy dog, and is due to retire from the show world - handler Kellie Fitzgerald said she wanted him to "go out with a bang" and said she was "over the moon" he had won.
"He's not going to be just a couch potato," Fitzgerald said, he's going to continue his therapy work and carry on in obedience.
