Monty, a 5-year-old giant schnauzer, was crowned the best in show at the 149th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in New York.

It begins Saturday morning at the Javits Center convention hall with agility and obedience championships and some demonstration events, including Westminster’s first experiment with flyball. That’s essentially a canine relay race that involves running a course of jumps and retrieving a ball.
