Westminster Dog Show 2023 Results: Best of Breed Winners and Monday Recap

The 2023 Westminster Dog Show is beginning to draw to a close and is now much closer to crowning its winner following Monday's Best of Group competition.

There was only one repeat champion this year, and it came in the non-sporting group with Winston the French bulldog, who came so close to winning it all last year.

Winston was 2022's Reserve Best in Show—or runner-up—and now has his eyes on the prize again after another superb performance this year and should be one of the favorites for Best in Show.

Of course, he'll face some stiff competition if he's going to come out on top.

Here's a look at who else impressed the judges heading into Tuesday's final round.

It'll be interesting to see how much of a role Winston's experience on the biggest stage will help him as he looks to become the first French bulldog to ever take the top prize at the Westminster Dog Show.

Even though none of his competitors have made it this far before, the rest of the field are all extremely experienced, having all been crowned as grand champions over their respective careers.

Tuesday's final round ought to be one packed with plenty of excitement for all those good pups.

In addition to the Best in Show competition, there was a repeat winner in the Masters Agility Championship as Truant the Border Collie defended his title and beat out a stacked field with an incredible time of 28.68 seconds through the obstacle course.

It's been an incredible few days at "America's Dog Show," and the grand finale surely won't disappoint as a new Best in Show is crowned.

Tuesday's final round begins at 8 a.m. ET.
