A standard poodle named Siba was crowned "Best in Show" at the annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in New York on Tuesday, taking home the grand prize in the most prestigious competition for pure-bred canines in the United States.
Siba, the finalist representing all breeds classified as non-sporting dogs, emerged victorious at the three-day event after going head to head with the winners in six other groups - hounds, toys, herding dogs, working dogs, sporting dogs and terriers.
