Whippet wins top prize at dog show

– Tease, a whippet from Scotland, won the top prize at Britain’s Crufts Dog Show in Birmingham on Sunday.

The two-and-half-year-old Hound breed, whose full name is Collooney Tartan Tease, owned by Yvette Short, beat six finalists to be crowned best in show at the event, which began in 1891.

Short, from Edinburgh, said Tease’s victory was “incredible”. “It’s just wonderful,” she said.

The best in show award was the culmination of the four-day event, which attracted almost 21 000 competitors, Crufts said. –
