The annual World Dog Show competition has been
won by a Japanese-born French poodle named Smash
after 4 days of competition. Over 5000 entries
competed for the prize.
Smash is a male miniature poodle, owned by Mamoro Oyama of
Japan and was groomed for almost five hours before
the final judging. The second place in the competition went to Braco
Malfoy, a male bulldog, while the third place went to
Tizoc, a male Xoloitzcuintle — a sleek, hairless Mexican breed also known as
Xolo.
Smash was groomed for almost five hours before the
final judging.
The World Dog Show is not recognized
by the American Kennel Club (AKC) or British Kennel
Club (KC) and most entries come from South America,
Japan and Australia. This year the even attracted
over 5000 entries even though first prize is
reportedly not a large cash prize. Winning this
competition can vastly increase stud fees and the
asking price of subsequent offspring in the South
American countries.
