The Best in Show ribbon at a dog show is awarded to one of 7 dogs.  The winning dog from each group is represented in the BIS competition – sporting, non-sporting, toy, terrier, working, hound, and herding groups.  At this point, all 7 dogs are winners and are worthy of the BIS ribbon.   How does the judge ever choose a winner?  On Saturday at the Chester Valley Kennel Club show, the BIS judge was Jean Fournier and her daunting task was to select a winner from these breeds:  the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, Doberman Pinscher, Whippet, Airedale Terrier, Papillion, Bulldog, and Pembroke Welsh Corgi.  Who did she select for BIS?  Stay tuned tomorrow to see the winner.  In the blog images Jean is signing the judges book and noting who won BIS – a well guarded secret until she makes her announcement!
