Stache, a proud and confident Sealyham Terrier from Cochranville, won Best In Show at this year’s prestigious National Dog Show presented by Purina held at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, according to a staff report from The Daily Local News.

The pooch, who is the second-ranked Terrier and twelfth-ranked All-Breed show dog in America, comes from a legendary line of dogs that includes Charmin, Stache’s grandfather and winner of the World Dog Show, among many others.

Around 20 million people watched the broadcast on NBC Thanksgiving Day. Stache was guided to the title by Margery Good of Cochranville.

“This dog’s condition, breed type, and showmanship all come together to produce the epitome of an excellent dog,” said Best In Show judge Carrie Chase.

Chase chose Stache as the winner within a top-rated lineup that included a Shih Tzu, Great Dane, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Dalmatian, German Shepherd Dog, and Azawakh.

“It’s an exhilarating feeling to win,” said Good. “Stache’ deals easily with multiple things happening around him. He’s so well-balanced and he loves to show.”

As a personal reward, the pooch got to have his celebratory dinner: kibble on the silver-plated trophy tray.
