Every dog at this week's Westminster Kennel Club show is a champion. So how does a judge decide which is best in show? Choosing a winner at the United States’ most storied dog show takes an encyclopedic knowledge of 200 different breeds and varieties. Donald Sturz was the best-in-show judge in 2022, and he's now the kennel club’s president.

To the casual viewer, it might be hard to fathom what judges glean from patting down and peering at carefully prepped canines. But choosing a winner at the United States’ most storied dog show requires an encyclopedic knowledge of“When you’re judging at Westminster on any level, it’s unlike any other judging experience,” said Donald Sturz, who awarded the top prize in 2022 to.
“You walk out onto the floor of, you know, the world’s most famous arena, and the world is watching,” he said. “And you do have a moment where you’re like, ‘My God, what am I going to do?’” Judges perform hands-on examinations and watch dogs in motion to discern which one comes closest to the ideal for its breed, as set out in a “standard” that details desired features. It’s meant to reflect a breed’s roots and historic function.
“As a judge in best in show at Westminster, you really can’t go wrong because you know a case could be made for any one of the seven of them,” he said.“A great dog having a great night,” Sturz said. “There’s just something that that dog brings that night that just put them a notch above the other great dogs in the ranks.”Trump says some white South Africans are oppressed and could be resettled in the US.
