At theWestminster Dog Show, some dog breeds seem to have better luck than others.

Soon there will be a new Westminster Best in Show winner. The 2023 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show concludes on the evening of May 9 withthe Best in Show roundat the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York.

Each year thousands of dogs from dozens of breeds gather to compete in the prestigious event, and while some breeds have never seen a Best in Show win, other kinds of canines have multiple titles.

The most winningest breeds throughout the Westminster Dog Show’s 147-year history may surprise some. Study up on the event’s champion canines now to help you with your predictions for the2023 Westminster Dog Show’s Best in Show winner.

Coming in a tie for fourth are the Pekingese and the standard [oodle. Each breed has won Best in Show at the Westminster Dog Show five times. Pekingese dogs earned two of those wins in the past 12 years. In 2021,Wasabi the Pekingnese won Best in Show, nine years after his grandfather Malachy took the title. The last time a standard poodle won Westminster was in 2020,when Siba strutted her way to the grand prize.

The English springer spaniel ranks third in Westminster’s most-winningest dog breeds with six Best in Show titles. James the English springer spaniel hasthe most recent win for his breed, earning a Best in Show title at the 2007 Westminster Dog Show.

Coming in second place is the Scottish Terrier. This breed has eight Best in Show wins at Westminster, with the most recent occurring in 2010 when Sadie won the top prize. And while eight wins is an impressive total, Westminster’s top winning breed almost doubles the Scottish terrier’s win count.
