The 136th Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show took place this week in New York with a Pekingese named Malachy winning Best in Show. While the tiny Pekingese wowed the audience with its coiffured fur and its cute prancing, there were also a great number of large dogs weighing up to 250 pounds that impressed spectators as well.

Among the big dogs competing at the Westminster Dog Show, there were Mastiffs, Great Pyrenees, Golden Retrievers, Great Danes, Boxers, Australian Shepherds, Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs and Irish Wolfhounds. The larger dogs competed in the Working Dogs, Sporting Dogs, Hounds and Non-Sporting Dogs groups.
