A wire fox terrier went from barely missing the Best in Show competition in 2013 to winning it all in 2014.  Sky (GCH Afterall Painting The Sky), the runner-up in last year’s Terrier Group, won the grand prize at the 2014 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.

The Reserve Best in Show title – equivalent to the first runner-up – went to a standard poodle named Ally, GCH Brighton Lakeridge Encore.  Ally also moved up from a 2013 runner-up finish in the group stage (Non-Sporting).
