Say hello to Sage, the Westminster Dog Show 2024 winner

Sage wins Best in Show!

While many delightful dogs competed in the Westminster Dog Show 2024, only one precious pooch earned the coveted title of Best in Show. At the 148th annual Westminster Dog Show, the pup who won Best in Show was none other than a miniature poodle named Sage (official name GCHG CH Surrey Sage).

Sage, a 3-year-old poodle hailing from Houston, Texas, “is the first poodle to win Best in Show since 2020,” according to USA Today reporters Cydney Henderson and Lorenzo Reyes.

Watch Nimble the mixed-breed dog demolish the 2024 Westminster Masters Agility course in under 30 seconds

WHAT. A. RUN!

Nimble lived up to its name this weekend.

The 2024 Westminster Dog Show is here, and as we’ve seen in years past, the Masters Agility competition is thrilling as heck (and sometimes, it’s heartbreaking).

This year? We got some history. Nimble is a mixed-breed dog from Maryland, but it’s known as an All-American Dog in the competition (and they’re allowed in the Agility contest). And what Nimble did was astounding on the way to becoming the first All-American to win the competition: Nimble ran the course in under 30 seconds with a time of 28.76 seconds. WOW!

See Truant the Border Collie dominate the Westminster Dog Show Masters Agility competition

What a run!

In previous years at the Westminster Dog Show, we’ve seen some amazing moments during the Agility competition … and some pups that just want to chill out and run around at leisure.

This is not the case with a Border Collie named Truant, who won the 20″ class — there are five different classes split into sizes before they compete against each other — and then went on to be the All-American Dog Masters Agility champion.

Truant absolutely blazed through the course in 2023, winning the title. You’ve got to watch the whole thing to see what a true champion looks like. Congrats to the collie!
