This week a sleek, three-year-old descendant of "Dobermann's dogs," Mr. & Mrs. Len Carey's Doberman pinscher, Ch. Rancho Dobe's Storm (see cut opposite), defends the best-in-show title which he won last year in the annual Westminster Kennel Club competition at Madison Square Garden. The judge who last year picked Storm over the defending champion boxer, Bang Away of Sirrah Crest, called him "the greatest Doberman I've ever seen...
...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.

Brand, 57, is out of bed by 4:15 a.m. He walks his Doberman pinscher for half an hour, gulps his breakfast (nothing but cold black coffee), picks up a couple of sandwiches that his wife has made for his lunch, and catches the 5:10 streetcar from his home in West Allis, a Milwaukee suburb. From 6:20 a.m. until 3 p.m. Brand works at a job which many people would call tough, unpleasant and underpaid...
...ring at Madison Square Garden for a go at 22 rivals for the best-in-group prize (boxers, Great Danes, collies, German shepherds, etc., classified as "working breeds"), and won again. It was easier than baiting boars. When the six group-finalists-a Welsh terrier, a Dalmatian, a miniature pinscher, an Irish setter, a greyhound and Zazarac Brandy-gathered for the showdown, it took tuxedoed Judge Tom Carruthers III just 15 minutes to single out Brandy as best-in-show-and dog-of-the-year...
