National Dog Show 2023: Best in Show (Full Judging) | NBC Sports
/ nbcsports
The dog trying desperately to get the treat off the floor at the end was so funny and so sad 😂😂
She tormented him afterwards. It was agonizing. After winning the gold, he was still her pet.
I KNOW! My family was yelling at the screen LET HIM HAVE HIS TREAT DAMMIT
Agreed!!! Why on earth would she shove that large treat, that he could hardly chew, in his face right when he won??!! Then the constant pulling his lead and choking him was awful to see! That was my favorite dog as well and I found watching how he was treated very disturbing and sad.😢
Yeah, reminded me of an Animal Aid Unlimited rescue video. The poor starving dog, on deaths door, still wanted to eat all the biscuits that they threw down. It was so touching. They named him Biscuit
The dog won, did you notice? He got the treat. True terrier effort.
They are all beautiful but the great dane immediately caught my eye. What a beautiful dog!
💯 Agree ❤❤❤
Yep! He caught and held my attention!! To me he was the best pick! Beautiful dog. Very unique indeed. 😊
To me he looked tired, though...
Love the harlequin danes
Too bad large dogs aren’t allowed to win this show!
The Great Dane and the German Shepherd represented perfection.
I totally agree. I don't really watch the National Dog Show anymore because it seems so skewed. This is my first time watching in many years.
The German Shepherd should have won. The judge just favored the ones she liked.
@@katielove9932 You're favouring the ones you liked. The Sealyham is small, and chunky, but obviously he adhered to the breed standard better than the other dogs adhered to theirs.
Not perfect enough, looks like. They have to be as close to their breed standard as possible.
They all did, beautiful dogs.
Been watching this since 2002 and I always get excited when I see the German Shepherd. What a beautiful dog!!!!!
My, what big teeth you have, Grandmother 😂
But with normal hind legs... weil love our dogs strong agile and healthy ✊🏻
The German Shepherd has a life of hip and back pain. How does that "get (you) excited"?
Bruh my guy just wanted his treat at the end.
Aww 😂 well considering he won I'm sure he'll get lots of treats tonight ☺️
Glad the Dalmation at least got reserve champion. All gorgeous dogs, but the Dane, Sherpherd and the Dalmation were the rel standouts in my view. Sealyham is a super cute little showman though--clearly a happy little guy.
Yes! All the dogs were truly beautiful and wonderful to see...they literally were all winners!!
I agree. The shepherd and the Dane were freaking awesome
Those were my picks too.
A very subjective sport
Dalmatian
The Great Dane was beyond awesome... Very Regal and beautiful and showed perfectly. Disappointed he was ignored..
Over breeding. Poor dog
Seemed like the audience favored him as well. His L ear was droopy. Those judges look for perfection. Me? I love the water dogs. That Chesapeake Retriever was gorgeous! We have the same hair color!...lol
He was gorgeous!
He wasn't ignored. He won best of breed and best in group. He had a pretty great show.
On movement the Dane did not look quite right to me in the front, maybe a little tired. A striking dog though!
6:09 that GSD was absolutely one stunning boy! so impressed with his behavior. 🤩
I like that no matter who gets picked, we know its gonna be a good doggo regardless.
hi taehyung lmao
Yes!!!
Most beautifully built Great Dane I have ever seen !!
💯 agree ❤❤❤❤
A stunning example.
It is too bad that only little dogs are allowed to win best in show.
@@cjr4497 It sure seems that way.
All of them are gorgeous and cute but the dalmation literally stoled my heart!❤❤❤❤
Wow that German Shepherd held us top line all the way to the end of the tale on the move
I thought so too. What a beauty!
yep, till he jogging.
German shepherd very good ❤ Beautiful dog 🎉
4:20 Great Dane (Working) 6:09 German Shepherd (Herding) 7:38 Dalmatian (Non-Sporting) 9:04 Chesapeake Bay Retriever (Sporting) 10:25 Azawakh (Hound) 12:11 Sealyham Terrier (Terrier) 13:58 Shih Tzu (Toy) 19:40 Reserve Best in Show 20:54 Best in Show
Thanks very much. I always appreciate the people who go to the effort to help others.
What does reserve Best in Show mean? For some reason I only thought there was a Best in Show
@@mistervacation23 basically 2nd place
@@elizabeth6540 okay thanks that's a new one on me
Thank you, I definitely thought he said “silly hound terrier” 😂
I thought the Azawakh was exquisite,a stunning 🤩 dog!!! 🐕
Couldnt take my eyes off. Absolutely stunning
My absolute favorite,statuesque,elegant and peaceful 🐾🐾🐾
@@lovely-mk4rt Yes 👍🏻 mine too,great description and a pretty 💗 pretty face!
I'm so stoked that breed made it to BIS. It's a big deal.
Carried himself with class frfr
Good call for this GERMAN Shepherd to be in the best of show ring. Looks like a well put together show dog ❤
I did research on that dog. It has many titles. It looks to be owned by multiple people tho. stunning dog tho.
He had a very majestic stand
If only one person can explain to me the purpose of the GSD stack, though... Sorry, but why any dog on this earth should have its hocks level to the ground is just beyond me.
@@lagottessait's to show th rear angulation, if too straight shocks will have stilted gait, not th smooth flying,.. & actually is more comfortable. If u notice when handlers are stacking other dogs, often will move one rear forward. GS should not be so over angulated, when standingnormally, shocks not touching ground. Th back should be level, th 3 point stack slopes it more
American bred GSD's are notorious for hip problems due to this specific reason. Whereas the European bred GSD's have straight backs, can still stack beautifully and have less hip problems.@@Memow-pk1ng
I know nothing about show dogs… but the Great Dane and the German Shepard were awesome. The winner had gunk in his mustache….I demand a recount
I really liked the dal it's expression, pattern, and tail wagging. Also loved the Azawakh's gait. Not sure exactly how it should be, but it was so nice.
I picked the same two, the Azawakh and the Dalmatian. Not usually my choice but something about the way they carried themselves spoke regal and confidence.
The sealyham has personality..was happy to be there..😊
German shepherd looked best overall imo Most stunning aesthetically was definitely the Great Dane
Speaking of aesthetics: comparing the Dane, the dalmatian, the lab and the shepherd. It makes zero sense to me who came up with the idea that a sloping back looks more attractive in shepherds. Ridiculous. And such a terrible shame how much they 're suffering health wise because of it. The breed is in such bad shape that in their mother country the police are switching over to Belgian malinois .
Our shepherd died last Christmas and we went with the malinois this time after always getting shepherds fir this reason
@@eva-wwasn't a lab , a Chesapeake Retriever That GSD , Heathcliff" has quite a record of wins, , best breed Westminster, placed grp 4 Well balanced GS. OFA. cleared hips. If u watch th breed judging , he was standout, among some pretty bad ones,.. over angulated, roach backed. Only reason Malinois used for K9 police, bc are more agile, higher energy, more stamina
@@eva-wthere was no Labrador in the ring.
@@eva-wthe standard does not call for a sloped back. this dog has a straight back; it’s simply gaiting
I really wish the standard cut for the Shi-tzu was shorter. It's so hard for their personality to show through all that hair.
This is only the show cut!
Looked like a four legged Cousin Itt!
@@rosemarymagrino772the conformation outline on that Shitzu was perfection, & th condituon , lenghth of xoat/ hair, counts toward winning
The Great Dane and the German Shepherd were phenomenal. One of them should have won. The Newfoundland was also beautiful
And the Azwak sp would be 3rd.
That was a Chesapeake Bay retriever . A Newfoundland is way bigger
I disagree about the shepherd again a dog that was not properly put together for easy movement! Colour was blah. The Great Dane was lovely but in my opinion too feminine. The Sealyham was a good choice. As was the dalmatian. I liked the Chesapeake and the Azawack winning group was awesome for such a new breed in the States.
I really enjoyed the Sealyham Terrier hitting the Superman pose when being lifted up on and off the judging table
The Great Dane was the winner in my eyes 100 times over was actually chocked at the out come.....
His gate was off and and I don’t if the fact his ears weren’t posted right has something to do with it .
They all brought a smile to my face, the great Dane and German Shepherd were the most professional and they were all gorgeous but the terrier won my heart. Congratulations to all.
The Dalmatian seemed the sweetest. Happy little tail wagging the whole time.
I think the German Shepherd was most impressive in behavior, stance, gait….. but the winner was a cutie for sure.
For sure the Sheppard
Cuteness doesn't win .. Sealy, Stache, is #1 all breed winner.
Oh wow... I really thought Great Dane, or GSD would win this one!
I get that as they had amazing representation. Even the Dalmatian and the others. And that hound! Great final group this year. I can understand the Sealyham winning. What an alert, smart looking one. They are all winners. All of them.
Th Dane was a great example of its breed, big boned , not like th usual lean frail ones,.. & GSD was no badly over sloped, over angulated, & self stacked , th 3 point stack perfectly !
@@marysmith8128Th Sealy is #1 all breed so no surprise
@@Memow-pk1ng What do you mean? Does the Sealy usually win it or something? Or, by #1, do you mean the most commonly owned dog?
Agree
I love how kind this judge is to the pups
Hello beautiful👋🏻 how are you doing? how does it feel to be the most prettiest lady around here? Love your smile by the way I just wanted to say hi hope you’re having an amazing day🙌🏻🙌🏻😊
Yeah sister you are right
Yes, she was very gentle with them.
Grew up with Chessies. He was moving well and a happy boy.
We had one. Amazing dogs. RIP Killian.
All these doggy are number 1 in my book Beautiful fur babies
The judge was so gentle and kind with a soft & confident approach towards the dog! It’s so nerve wracking for everyone and a judge that doesn’t take a moment to keep a calm and confident energy when touching a dog all of over…. It’s not helping the dog to be at it’s best with a stranger feeling them all over.
That German shepherd is such a beautiful example of the breed! Beautiful structure, impressive herding lope, and such a natural 3 pt stack! 😍 he should have gotten at least reserve champion
It's a shame that that fantastic Great Dane didn't win.
Develops your Dog's "Hidden Intelligence" To eliminate bad behavior and Create the obedient, well-behaved pet of your dreams… IN BIO
I just don't know what else a German Shepherd will have to do to win this event after watching the one in the finals. That dog made me cry tears of joy just watching it.
I totally agree with your comments 💯
That Sealyham is simply adorable! Well done!
That's a handsome Chessie. Very good boy.
Handsome but attention-span was "off"
@@thekongstocksChessies are very independent and not much for being trifled with. His personality was spot on for the breed.
That Dalmatian was stunning glad he won Reserve ! 🐕❤
She ❤ fyi
So happy for the Sealyham Terrier! Breeder-owner-handled! Was a GREAT line-up!! Congrats to all!!
you clearly don't understand many people watch this after the live and read comments. No need for a spoiler
The Shih-tzu had the best hair !! So long and well coiffed .
We used to have a Chesapeake Bay Retriever (female), in a beautiful cinnamon brown color. She was amazingly good at catching frisbees, jumping 4 feet or higher off the ground to fetch them. They are beautiful dogs, very loyal, and wonderful with families.
They are truly wonderful family dogs. OCD crazy about their toys. Gentle with kids. Quirky and loyal and charming. And smart.
Love Retrievers❤️❤️❤️
We used to have an amazing Chessie girl, too. She was the smartest dog I ever had. Great sense of humor, too.
I had a female Golden that was crazy crazy about frisbee's. She would get pissed if you didn't throw it perfect. If you threw two bad ones in a row she would quit, or take it to someone else to throw it. She was real serious about it.
@@awboat That was how our Chessie was! Our goldens were always more forgiving and my current dog, a cocker, looks at me like, you go get it, that’s not my job. 😂
The Great Dane WAS PERFECTION and huge 😳
The German Shepherd was beautiful! The Great Dane, amazing! Also, the Shih Tzu 😍
Hello 👋 how is it doing with you over there?
German Sheppard or the Azawakh won this competition...Perfect behavior, perfect stance, perfect run, and didnt flinch when being inspected. No tail wagging or looking for food like the "winner" did. Two extremely well trained dogs. I had Dalmation or GD as 3rd because of discipline
Dogs should wag their tails! If they are not they are unhappy!
@@karinjohansson7262 Dogs wag their tails by nature, thats why it takes alot of discipline for a dog to fight that instinct and is supposed to garner points but apparently this judge makes her own rules
Th yrs all best of breed winners, & their group, so been judged on conformation, Best in Show comes down to showmanship, which one rally wants it .. th GS self stacked perfectly,.. th Sealy is #1 all breed winner, deserved th win.
I was rooting for the Great Dane and the German Shepherd, the Dalmatian was great also and the Azawakh was regal - legs like a deer! I'm not a huge fan of the smaller breeds, but they were awesome as well.
the Azawakh reminded me of the female deer off Open Season
Psuอันตราย เอาสัตว์รายมาเลี้้ยง
Ddddffddp@@surat9854
You’d be a big Sealy fan if you spent some time with one. They are absolute sweethearts, one of the best tempered dogs out of all dog breeds. They are complete clowns always looking to make someone laugh. A Sealyhams favorite place is on the couch next to anyone who wants scratch their favorite spot. I’ve owned a lot of different breeds and shown different breeds and the Sealyham will always hold my heart. Probably why I went and jumped at the chance of owning another when I got the call of one being available. Not many born a year.
The Great Dane was absolutely perfect!!! They got it wrong
Hello 👋🏻 how are you doing
That Great Dane should have won Best in Show; he is magnificent.
Keep in mind that there is so much the judge is looking at beyond the obvious things we see on TV, and the 7 dogs are being compared against their respective breed standards, not against each other.
I've seen many sealyham winning BIS , the Great Dane was simply stunning it's very unlikely to find a dog like that one in this breed , so balanced wonderful temperament and so professionally presented. That's what I hate of dog shows it's all about one persons decision. There should be several judges voting like in the Olympics before reaching a decision .
They all were judged by another, to be best of breed.
@@Memow-pk1ng but it's the same thing the decision was based on one single person In order to qualify for the next stage... There should be several.judges .. two minds or more are better than one..then It would be a fair win.
I usually into the large breed dogs but I am glad the Sealyham Terrier won. Last I heard, they were on the endangered breed list. Hopefully, this will attract more fans to the breed.
I wasn't surprised by the win at all. That bright little button made everyone in the arena fall in love with him :) I'm a German Shepherd lover down to my toes, and I'm including myself in that!
How does that dog see?!
And the way she picked him up….ugh…
my family was watching this and when we saw the shih tzu come out looking so regal we were HOWLING laughing. We wanted him to win along with the terrier but we were so happy when the adorable terrier won!
omg i had to go back and look at shih tzu again and idk why but i howled too lol
I was so excited to see the Shih Tzu too. I really thought it might win because of how regal it looked. I love these dogs which is why I have one. 😊
honestly the great dane was Insane!!!!!!! gorgeous
Who doesn’t love the dog show at thanksgiving!
its the best part lets be real!
Absolutely stunning German Shepherd.
Hello 👋 how is it doing with you over there?
That great Dane was beautiful!!!
That GERMAN SHEPHERD should have WON Best in Show, hands down! I am a dyed in the wool terrier owner. Scottie owner 23 yrs.
I though Dalmatian and ShiZhu. That little lad looked like a very angry Warrior blazing along...just like they should. He cracked me up.
I would have put the German Shepherd first with that magnificent Great Dane a close second.
Handsome GSD ❤ GSD =. God’s Special Dog 👍❤️😘🤗🥰😍 Great top line & loved how he walked into his stack so smoothly 👍 Gorgeous face & expression! ❤
Hello 👋 how is it doing with you over there?
The Great Dane was impeccable
I was rooting for the Dalmatian! 🥰 I'm happy she at least got the reserve in best show
Me too. Along with the German shepherd. These dogs can't catch a break because of the judges.
The Dalmatian looked like perfection to me.
@@looloo4029 I agree. You wonder why I hate the judges.
Love that you show each category in entirety on YT, then best in show. Such a convenient way to see each category when possible in these busy holidays. Love the show. I was particularly intrigued by the herding groups’s judge’s snazzy boots.
Tenkjy
Personally I love the GSD that stance no big movement flinching nothing the perfectness spot on.
ALL WINNERS 🏆GREAT JOB 👏 EVERYONE
I am very much in love with that gorgeous Great Dane❤❤
Absolutely LOVE the chessie giving the side eye to the judge. Trust no one. So typical for the breed. What a handsome boy, love to see the Chesapeake getting some recognition. That Dane was robbed.
Biggest Great Dane i’ve ever seen! All these dogs deserve BOS!!!! German Shepard and Chesapeake were my favs besides that massive Great Dane!
Lil man who won was havin a blast
It seems they always chooses the little dogs to win. Disappointed with winner. Great Dane or Dalmatian would have been my pick.
Yup. It’s been 20 years since a working breed won.
I agreed.
The shepherd was my #1 great dane #2 dalmation #3
So cute the terrier holding its tongue out constantly, as a terrier always does. I was impressed with the stance and the gate of the Dalmatian.
congrats to stache, but for me personally, the Great Dane was robbed
The German Shepard was excellent. I thought for sure he would win.
Great Dane and German Shepherd had it
The Dane was Exquisite!
The Shitzu! My vote. They are all awesome ❤
They are all so perfect. Impossible to pick one dog
Yeah! Kudos to the Terrier Group!
Not me getting upset that she didn't let him finish his treat at the end, he earned it!
SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE GERMAN SHEPHERD OR THE GREAT DANE!!!!!
No absolutely not
the Chessie!
The GD in my opinion absolutely beautiful but the little long haired furry one is adorable 😊❤
Dalmatians getting some love!
The gsd was absolutely flawless in every aspect. Clear winner imo.
The Shi Tzu is hair goals.
BOH is the best! ANYONE can buy a dog, import a dog. But to breed and show in regular clothing it is a pleasure to see her win! And the dog was awesome, too.
Hey good afternoon beautiful how are you doing today hope you're having a wonderful afternoon
I could never been a judge... I would give them all Best in Show!!!
Hello 🖐️ how is it going with you over there?
the shih zu was perfect gorgeous diva!!! so cute 😂😂😂😂
German shepherd did an amazing job. What a great posture he did
BEST IN SHOW was the German Shepherd!!!.....at least for me!! She got it wrong.
YAYY for the Sealyham!! 🎉🎉🎉 I L❤VE my terriers...
Me too on my third Airedale 😂
Tooooooo cute. And the Queen playing in the background is AWESOME!!!!!!! YAH
What a beautiful GSD.
I so enjoy watching this I just love dogs. There’s nothing like the love of the dog, the companionship of the dog the loyalty of a dog and the feel of a dog. This was beautiful.💙
The Great Dane or the German Shepherd were my favorite Great looking dogs for
That hound group dog looks like the Loch Ness monster
beautiful deer
I picked the Great Dane or Shepherd. Sad they didn't win
No it is good for the breed!
Really!? That’s crazy. My first was German shepherd, then Great Dane, Chesapeake third. That small dog had nothing on those three.
My compliments to the producers of the Best in Show broadcast! Someone really knows their way around a show. We got to see the dogs. The dogs and their handlers all presented well.
I was rooting for the Dalmatian 🐸🍿 but the winner had a cool little walk
They need contests like this for reptiles, birds, rodents, fish, etc. Dogs and cats are great but other animals are bred for their special traits too and their breeders deserve recognition for it.
There ARE shows for all those, I've been to reptile, Repticon here in FLA. Nov. 11, 12. Different breeds. shown , & u can buy., trade.. Also Bird Expos, , & Rat shows, & I showed ferrets back when were th crazy,.. All fairs also have, chickens, rabbits, goats, cattle, being shown.
Enough of those in Congress !
@@gusbeau1hilarious
We certainly know the dust mop is the prettiest.
Stache is my fav, he's so adorable 😍
