By Amy Fernandez In recent years, newly recognized breeds have become an annual addition at Westminster.

The Hound Group can be confusing. The FCI, for example, classifies sighthounds and scenthounds separately – sight hounds in Group 10 and scent hounds in Group 6. In North America and Great Britain, the Italian Greyhound is classified in the Toy Group; the FCI classifies this breed as a sighthound (Group 10). When discussing hounds in Europe, I refer to the FCI standards and groups.
When Boston Terrier Bruno, more formally known as GCh Danicrest Bullet’s Brunello’s Rare Essence took an AOM on Monday, he was cheered on by his best buddy, 5-year old Boxer “Chickenman.” “He’s here to support his Boston,” breeder/owner/handler Dr. Jacqueline Royce of Sarasota, Fla. laughs. Chickenman, so named for his great love of rotisserie chicken, has a couple of titles of his own—he’s GCh Bullet Vancroft’s You Must Remember This CA. She’s thrilled with Bruno’s award, pointing out that there were 31 Bostons entered. “It’s pretty competitive, but it’s still possible for an owner/handler to be successful.”
