“I am so excited for Trumpet,” said handler Heather Helmer, who co-owns and bred the 4-year-old.
The competition drew more than 3,000 purebred dogs, ranging from Affenpinschers to Yorkshire terriers. The goal is to crown the dog that most represents the ideal for its breed.
The dog came his way from his grandmother, Sandy Fox, who has bred and shown Frenchies for years. Morgan Fox grew up with one and says that as he watched Winston mature, he knew the dog was a winner in both appearance and character.“He’s a joy to be around,” Fox said. “He always walks around with as much of a smile on his face as a dog can have.”
While he was quiet in the ring, an Alaskan Malamute provided a yowling — cheering?— soundtrack for a semifinal round featuring the Samoyed and other breeds classified as working dogs. Another competitor, Ooma, was the only Chinook that showed up. The sled-pullers are the official dog of the state of New Hampshire, but they’re rare nationwide.
