Trumpet the Bloodhound won best prize in the 2022 Westminster Dog Show, becoming the first of his kind to win this huge prize. He had a tough competition between a Samoyed and a French bulldog. And when Trumpet won, everyone was shocked.
“I was shocked,” said Trumpet’s handler Heather Buehner said. “There were seven beautiful dogs in that ring. You know, sometimes I feel like a bloodhound would be a little bit of an underdog. So I was absolutely thrilled.”
Trumpet may not have been the number one choice for the judges, as most had their attention focused on the Samoyed named Striker who was oddly white and was one of the seven winners.
This is a very major event for Trumpet because the leading breed of dog in number of wins for this dog show is the terrier breed, with fifty wins, and second to last place is the hound breed, with only seven wins.
In second place, which is best in show reserve, was Winston the French bulldog. The winner of the toy group was Hollywood the Maltese, with long, white fur draping to the ground. The herding group winner is River the German shepherd. The herding group is in last place for the number of wins in the Westminster dog show, with only three wins.
Trumpet has the confidence of a natural born champion. When he won, the celebrated his victory quietly and not excessively. Trumpet has something in him so you could tell he was a champion by nature. His great Grandfather, Tigger, was the Guinness World Record holder for the dog with the longest ears, his right ear was 13.75 inches long, and his left ear was 13.5 inches long.
The competition in these dog shows is fierce and brutal. When you lose, you and your dog get hustled off the stage as quickly as you can move.
In this year’s Westminster Dog Show, Trumpet shocked everyone by being the first bloodhound to win top prize in the show. There were plenty of beautiful dogs that competed, including Striker the fluffy white Samoyed. Many people look forward to Trumpet’s future competing, and the results of the 2023 Westminster Dog Show.
