An outdoorsy 3-year-old pup and Georgia, Vermont, native took home a big title in this year's Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Greater Swiss Mountain Dog Beatrice won best of breed. "She's a great show dog. She loves to do it. She loves to show off," owner and handler Deanna Never said. "She's kind of like a tomboy. She likes to be dirty. She doesn't like to be clean and pretty for the dog shows and get baths for them. She'd rather be out here eating snow, getting muddy, going for hikes." Never said it's a great addition to the 40 other awards Beatrice has won in the past year. "For 2016, she finished the No. 1 Swiss Mountain Dog in the country, so she's had a successful year," Never said. But Deanna said getting this ribbon was still a big surprise. "There was an entry of 14 Swissies, so it was very competitive," Never said. Never said Beatrice is the first girl to win the award in two decades, and the last lady who won was a relative. "It was her great-great-grandmother so she comes from a long line of Westminster winners, so it was really fun," Never said. Never is a professional dog breeder. She owns Swiss Run Swissy's in Georgia and breeds a few litters a year since starting 10 years ago. "We try to produce nice pets and show dogs that we keep for ourselves also and continue the breeding program, but pretty much we want to have nice dogs for families to enjoy them," Never said. Never has gone to other Westminsters and won awards with other dogs, but she said this is one she won't forget. "It's more about spending time with the dog. We have a good bond," Never said. They will be back to competing soon. Never said Beatrice performs in around two dog shows a month.
