Summary A crowd-pleasing gangly Scottish Deerhound pawed his way to victory and made history on Tuesday at the prestigious Westminster Dog Show.
No member of the breed has ever won the top prize in the famed shows 135-year history. The five-year-old Hickory competed against some 2,600 entrants from 179 breeds for the biggest honor. Four group winners were picked on Monday from the toy, nonsporting, hound and herding groups, while winners from the sporting, working and terrier groups were being picked on Tuesday, the second day of the two-day show. The top dogs in each of the seven groups vie for best-in-show.
