National dog show and she joins us now with her handler Daniel Martin and the host of the show David Frye. So lay Daniel David so nice to have you we love this tradition around here we look forward to it every year. So she's beautiful obviously she's just stunning what was it like to be crowned best in show. It was amazing it was amazing, I mean the feel of the adrenaline. There's nothing like it it was truly a special special event. It's amazing and this year all of the sort of dog world expert said the competition was super intense you had just a really high level how did you think about that during the competition. I mean it's just what's going through your head as a handler in that moment, just every dog there deserves to be there and at that point you're just trying to what you can for the dog at the time and do what you can at the best moment, so I mean you just kind of go with it and you just just do it, I mean just kind of go go with the flow. Yesterday, all of us are having a Thanksgiving feast, how did you celebrate your big win with so late this sets we sat on the couch in the hotel room watch the parade watch the dog show and then had a nice Thanksgiving dinner. There you go with the family. David did you know right away that she was the lead of the I knew right away she was special and deserve to be out there with the 7 great dogs are in there at the end so it was fun to watch her and it's always fun for me to see a dog come in and you can say right now that's a female she's elegant, she's beautiful, she's presented to perfection and she just I think caught me caught my eye right away, but it was a tough line and what's amazing about what you do too is you can you see each of these dogs for the individual that they are right, I mean you just you have different descriptors different words different ways that you're looking at them and and compare it well we have over 200 breeds and varieties that were entered at our show 2000 dogs and also a great celebration for us in our 24th year with NBC of course. I love that last year we had a pug and it's you get to see a little bit of everything and learn what makes each of these breeds. We try to do with our show is be educational and entertaining yeah, and I think it's fun for everybody it's fun for the families as they're waiting for the turkey to come out and they can stand there. They can sit there and walk in route for the dog that they have sit on the couch next to them if they have a britney sitting next to them they can root for the britney in our show it's the alma mater factor 24 years. Yeah. Are you a celebrity that anyone you walk down the street. More her there I can hear I can hear whispers all that's the dog that's the dog that makes you feel special that she's getting recognized, it's good for the breeds good for them.
