Here's a list of every Best in Show winner at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show after the 149th annual event.

Monty is the first Giant Schnauzer to ever win Best in Show and the first Working Group dog breed to win Best in Show since 2004. This 5-year-old pup just made history with his win! The TikTok account for the @WKCDogs posted this celebratory moment and fans are applauding Monty.

A Westminster win is considered the most prestigious award in the US dog show world. Each dog is judged according to how closely it matches the ideal for its breed.

Five-year-old Monty beat his fellow six group winners to be awarded the overall accolade, beating out a whippet, Bourbon, who became Reserve Best in Show for a second time, German Shepherd Mercedes, English springer spaniel Freddie, bichon frisé Neal, Skye terrier Archer, and shih tzu Comet.

Thousands of dogs. Hundreds of breeds. And just one top dog will be crowned at the Westminster Kennel Club show Tuesday night. The best in show trophy will be awarded around 11 p.m. in New York to one of seven finalists.
