NEW YORK (AP) Dozens of dog breeds hoping for their first best in show win at Westminster are going to have to wait another year.
A German shorthaired pointer named CJ got the title Tuesday night. His breed has won three times at the 140-year-old Westminster Kennel Club competition, most recently in 2005.
Still waiting are breeds as rare as Dandie Dinmont terriers and as familiar as Labrador retrievers, the nation's most popular purebred dog.
Some fanciers feel it's an uphill battle, but show organizers say anything can happen. Four of the last 11 bests in show have been first in their breed to win.
They were an affenpinscher (AFF'-ehn-pihn-shur), a Scottish deerhound, a Sussex spaniel and a colored bull terrier.
Wire fox terriers hold the Westminster record with 14 bests in show.
