NEW YORK (AP) – She’s ranked as the No. 1 show dog in America. And listening to the crowd at Madison Square Garden chant her name, she easily was Miss Popularity, too.
“Let’s go, Rumor!” fans hollered shortly before the German shepherd ran rings around her competition.
That was Monday night at the Westminster Kennel Club. On Tuesday night, the 4-year-old who’s already won 101 best in show titles will try to add the crown at the nation’s most prestigious pooch event.
Provided, of course, she gets her proper exercise. Not always easy to locate enough space in New York City, especially with the recent snow.
“It’s hard to find green places to take her and keep her fit,” said handler Kent Boyles of Edgerton, Wisconsin.
