As a proud pekingese owner I was embarrassingly excited to find out a peke named Malachy took home the title of Best In Show at the Westminster Dog Show this week! He is only one of three pekingese that has taken home the grand prize since 1960, it is about time these Ewok-esque little creatures had their day in the spotlight!

Here is Malachy post-win eating off a silver platter at Sardi's…of course he is!

1982's Best In Show Dragonora of Elsdon. Such a big name for a little dog ;)

The 1960 winner Chik T'Sun of Caversham

These special little dogs are one of a kind, support your local shelter or pekingese rescue groups!
