Er, they ALL got placed as they ALL won their groups and went forward to BIS, there can only be ONE BIS and a Reserve, there are no places.

All were fabulous specimens of their breed and a credit to their breeders, owners, and of course judges!

I should have put a bet on - I picked the winner & reserve! First time ever, lol.

However I did know the judge picked the Westminster BIS, a Deehound, because he said it fitted exactly the standard drawn up 150 years ago - so it was very likely going to be traditional, non-exaggerated breeds.
