EVENTS

  The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show 2009
   This year's Best In Show went to "Stump" a 10 year old Sussex
   Spaniel from Houston, Texas where he lives with his trainer and
   handler, Scott Summer. Summer is also one of his owners. Stump
   was in retirement with 50 Best In Shows under his collar and nearly
   died in 2004 from a bacteria infection.  The champ came out of
   retirement a week before this year's show to claim his 51st title and
   became the only Sussex Spaniel and the oldest dog ever to win
   Westminster. The first photos are of Stump winning the Sporting
   Group and then competing and winning Best In Show.
