Only one Pomeranian has won best in show at Westminster. (10/32)

The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show has awarded the Best in Show title to 107 dogs over its long history. Eleven of those winners have been from the toy group, but only one of those was a Pomeranian. Ch. Great Elms Prince Charming II was “the smallest dog in the ring” at 4.5 pounds. According to the New York Times, the Pom “was the choice of not only the judge but also of the majority of the 7,500 spectators. Every time he was gaited … the crowd roared its approval.”
