A bloodhound named Trumpet won the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show on Wednesday night. The prize marks the first time that the dog breed known for its sense of smell has been honored. The show recognizes dogs with the best qualities of their kind, or breed. Trumpet took the top dog prize in a competition including more than 3,000 dogs from 200 breeds. Other finalists included a French bulldog, a German shepherd, a Maltese, an English setter, a Samoyed and a Lakeland terrier. Heather Helmer is Trumpet’s breeder and owner. “I was shocked,” she said. The competition was tough, she added, “and sometimes I feel the bloodhound is a bit of an underdog.” After making dog show history, Trumpet sat patiently for picture after picture taken by reporters. Then, he started to do what bloodhounds do best sniff or smell the scents around him. The bloodhound is a breed known for its ability to find lost or hiding people by their scent. Trumpet examined some flowers that had been set up for pictures in the winner’s area but did not appear to find anything of note.
