Retired Samoyed Striker Basks in Westminster Dog Show Glory.
Striker the Samoyed, a former champion at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, is enjoying his retirement playing, romping, posing, and shedding at his home in Toronto. Despite losing in the final round of the competition last year, Striker is still a champion and a natural ham who believes he should be the center of attention at all times. His owners say he is an unusually chill dog who wakes up happy and is always up for anything. Striker's appearances at Westminster in 2021 and 2022 made him a huge crowd favorite, and he was the best in his group both years.
