He's a dog of a lifetime...he's just wonderful. He's a bit of a diva, likes his own way, very chilled but never lets me down."


In the final round, judges assess the seven group winners on their movement, structure, temperament and how well they represent their breed standard before selecting the Best in Show winner for 2026.
