Chanel makes history with Best In Show #22! The top seven dogs in the US were all in Greensboro NC for today’s Danville Kennel Club show and five of them made it to Debra Thorton’s BIS ring. But it was Cha Cha and handler Lori Wilson who took home career BIS number 22 amongst this stunning group of dogs. This win broke the record for BESTS IN SHOW won by a whippet bitch set all the way back in 1942!!
