...judge had a ticklish task. Which one of the six dogs would he choose? English setter, wire-haired dachshund, Welsh terrier, Brussels griffon, standard poodle or Doberman pinscher? Each dog had been trained to the tail tip, each had survived a two-day ordeal of poking and prodding by judges. Each was the best of its breed and the best of its group.

...veteran judge gave an equally careful going-over to each of the five other finalists in the ring-an English springer spaniel, a Pomeranian, a Boston terrier, a greyhound and a Doberman pinscher. But in the end, just before midnight, it was the Bedlington and his handler that he motioned to the ring's center.
