Feb. 4 (UPI) -- A doberman pinscher named Penny won Best in Show on Tuesday night during the 150th annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show at New York City's Madison Square Garden.
The 4-year-old canine bested the six other group winners to take the prestigious award, making her the 42nd female to win Best in Show and the first Doberman since 1989.
"You can't attribute it to one thing," Penny's handler, Andy Linton, said from the floor following the award ceremony, "but she is as great a Doberman as I've ever seen."
Linton last handled a winning dog in that 1989 competition, walking Royal Tudor's Wild as the Wind to a Best in Show award.
