The Westminster Kennel Club dog show is gearing up to award its coveted best in show prize. By the end of Tuesday night, the prize will go to one of the more than 2,500 hounds, terriers, spaniels, setters and others that entered this year’s show. Four of the seven finalists were chosen Monday night.

Monty is “a stallion” of a giant schnauzer, solid, powerful and “very spirited,” handler and co-owner Katie Bernardin of Chaplin, Connecticut, said after he won his breed Tuesday afternoon. A fraction of Monty’s size, Stache the Sealyham terrier showcases a rare breed that’s considered vulnerable to extinction even in its native Britain.
