National Dog Show | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

The winner of the 2017 National Dog Show presented by Purina has been announced!

The dog that won “Best in Show” at this year’s event is Newton the Brussels Griffon!

Here is how a dog can win the Best in Show prize: “A dog must first be judged the best of many dog shows of its same breed competing in the show. Some breeds have more than 100 dogs entered. The winner of the breed moves on to the group judging.”

There are seven groups of dogs that the more than 150 breeds are split into and then the final seven dogs compete against each other.

Watch the crowning moment below!

The National Dog Show Presented by Purina is back again this year, airing immediately after the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on NBC!

Actor John O’Hurley is back to host this year’s show alongside Mary Carillo and David Frei. If you don’t know, John is a former Seinfeld star and winner of Dancing with the Stars.

The show is actually the most widely watched dog show in America, and features over 150 different breeds of dog competing for the coveted title of Best in Show. The show is actually pre-taped the weekend before, so the dogs can all be home for Thanksgiving Day!

If you missed it, meet the pup who won last year’s Best in Show title.

Be sure to tune into the show on Thanksgiving day at noon ET on NBC.
