RARE PHOTOS: Doberman wins prestigious award at 150th westminister dog show | Vintage Vibes

  • A Doberman pinscher named Penny claimed the prestigious Best in Show title at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show on Tuesday night.
  • This victory marks veteran handler Andy Linton's second Best in Show win, almost four decades after his first triumph with another Doberman in 1989.
