'Diamond Jim' Wins Westminster Dog Show
Point of You Productions would like to congratulate James ‘Diamond Jim,’ a spaniel, for his victory at Westminster! Diamond Jim is owned in part, by Diana Hadsall, the mother to none other than Alexis Hadsall of TheatreRats!
Notes and quotes from BEN WALKER, AP National Writer:
An English Springer spaniel with a preference for chicken-and-garlic treats prevented America's top dog event from turning into "The Cosby Show."
Diamond Jim beat out a Dandie Dinmont terrier co-owned by Bill Cosby, as he did at the big AKC/Eukanuba event in December. The Springer was the nation's No. 2 show dog last year behind Cosby's entry — Fitzgerald also repeated, having gone Best in Show at Westminster in 2000.
This was his 51st Best in Show victory, and his last. He's retiring from the show world to live the life of a therapy and obedience dog. He has already worked with Alzheimer's patients.
