PRETTY NICE, DAYTIME HIGH OF 73
HERE IN NEW YORK.
AND SOUND THE TRUMPETS FOR
TRUMPET.
WE HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST HERE.
>> THAT’S RIGHT, HISTORY MADE AT
THE WESTMINSTER DRAWING SHOW
LAST NIGHT.
WATCH.
>> I’M VERY HONORED TO ANNOUNCE
THAT AT THE 146TH ANNUAL
WESTMINSTER KENNEL CLUB DOG
SHOW, THE BEST IN SHOW WINNER IS
THE BLOOD HOUND.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> WONDERFUL.
>> TRUMPET THE BEST IN SHOW.
>> AND TRUMPET IS HIS NAME AND
TRUMPET IS THE FIRST BLOOD HOUND
TO TAKE HOME THE COVETED TITLE
BEST IN SHOW.
>> Brian: TRUMPET IS HERE WITH
HIS OWNER AND HANDLER HEALTHER
ALONG WITH WESTMINSTER KENNEL
CLUB DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS
GAYLE MILLER FISHER THEY BOTH
JOIN US.
CONGRATULATIONS.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Brian: WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION
WHEN THE VERT WAS FINALLY HANDED
DOWN?
>> I WAS SHOCKED AND EXCITED ALL
AT THE SAME TIME.
>> Brian: YOU CURRENT CONFIDENT?
>> I’M ALWAYS CONFIDENT IN
TRUMPET BUT THERE’S SIX OTHER
GORGEOUS DOGS IN THAT WING,
ANYBODY COULD HAVE WALKED HOME
WITH THAT PRIZE.
>> Ainsley: AND WESTMINSTER’S
BEEN AROUND 146 YEARS A BLOOD
HOUND HAS NEVER WON BUT YOU TRY
EVERY YEAR.
>> EVERY YEAR, YEP, ABSOLUTELY.
>> Ainsley: HOW MANY DO YOU
HAVE?
>> I OWN THREE BUT THERE’S A FEW
MORE THAT I COMPANY OWN THAT
LIVE IN ILLINOIS.
>> WHAT IS ABOUT IT BLOOD HOUNDS
THAT’S SO GREAT?
WHAT ARE THE FEATURES?
>> SO THEIR NOSE IS A HUNDRED
TIMES MORE POWERFUL THAN OUR
NOSE WHICH MAKES THEM A GREAT.
>> Brian: SUPER POWER.
>> COMMERCIALITY IT IS ACTUALLY
THE ONLY NOSE THAT HOLDS UP IN A
COURT OF LAW.
>> Steve: THAT’S RIGHT.
SO LET’S PUT IT TO THE TEST.
I HOLD IN MY HAND RIGHT NOW A
PIECE OF PAPER BELONGING TO NEIL
CAVUTO.
ALL RIGHT, TRACK HIM DOWN.
TRACK HIM DOWN.
I’M KIDDING.
I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE HE IS.
WHAT I NOTICE IS JUST LIKE OUR
DOG DID, HE’S WORN THE TOP OF
HIS NOSE DOWN WHICH WOULD
SUGGEST THE DOG DOES NOT HAVE TO
BE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT TO WIN
BEST IN SHOW.
>> NO.
THEY’RE DOGS, THEY’RE OUR PETS
FIRST, THEY’RE NOT ROBOTS.
THEY’RE ALLOWED TO DO WHAT THEY
WANT.
>> GAYLE WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION,
FIRST TIME IN YOUR EXPERIENCE
FOR A BLOOD HOUND.
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, BLOOD HOUNDS
HAVE BEEN AT WESTMINSTER SINCE
1878 AND SO FOR IT TO TAKE THAT
LONG, IT’S A LONG TIME, RIGHT?
BUT HE WAS BEAUTIFUL LAST NIGHT.
HE REALLY FLOATED AROUND THE
RING.
HE’S IN GREAT CONDITION.
HIS MUSCLE TONE, HIS SKIN, YOU
KNOW, HE’S JUST IN GREAT SHAPE.
AND THE WRINKLING ON THE HEAD
AND FACE IS REALLY IMPORTANT.
THOUGHTFUL BUT SERVES A PURPOSE,
ABOUT COLLECTING AND MAINTAINING
THAT SCENT WHEN HE’S TRAILING SO
IT’S A VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT OF
THE BRIDE AND THE JUDGE WAS
LOOKING FOR THAT LAST NIGHT.
>> Steve: SO OBVIOUSLY NO BOTOX
ON THAT DOG.
>> NO.
>> WHAT’S NEXT FOR THIS DOG.
>> WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE
SHOWING GIVE IT OUR ALL AND SEE
WHAT HAPPENS.
IT’S A FUN JUMPY.
>> WHAT’S TRUMPIT’S PERSONAL
ALTHOUGH.
>> HE’S A FUN GUY CAN BE A
LITTLE ORNERY AT TIMES BUT.
>> SO ARE WE.
>> THAT’S RIGHT.
JUST LIKE US OUR FACES START TO
DRAG DOWN.
>> Brian: WITH HORSES THEY TALK
ABOUT PUTTING HIM OUT TO STUD.
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH -- I MEAN
OBVIOUSLY --
>> YOU KNOW, WE DON’T TRY TO
JUST JUMP INTO THAT.
WE LIKE TO SEE WHAT HE DOES
FIRST.
THERE’S A HEALTH CLEARANCE HE
HAS TO PASS FIRST, YOU KNOW, IN
ORDER TO EVEN GET TO THAT POINT.
SO IN THE FUTURE.
>> Brian: GILL THAT’S WHAT IT’S
ALL ABOUT UNTIL BEST IN SHOW.
>> AT ABOUT THE HONOR OF WINNING
THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS DOG SHOW IN
THE WORLD.
THERE’S NO MONEY INVOLVED.
THERE’S TROPHIES AND WINNERS.
>> IS IT A DISH BOWL.
>> IT’S A WATER PAVEMENT HE EATS
A LOT OF FOOD ALSO, HE EATS A
LOT OF CHOW.
>> WHERE WILL YOU PUT IT?
>> I DON’T KNOW YET.
I HAVEN’T BEEN HOME YET TO LOOK
AROUND AND SEE WHERE IT FITS.
>> I LOVE THAT THIS DOG SHOW
BRINGS AWARENESS TO DOGS, THAT’S
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.
IF YOU’RE GOING TO OWN A DOG,
THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO LOOK AT
THEM AND SEE WHAT’S GOOD FOR
YOUR FAMILY.
>> THAT’S RIGHT.
>> MAKE SURE YOU DO YOUR
RESEARCH AND FINDD THE RIGHT
BREED FOR YOUR LIFE STYLE.
THIS DOG NEEDS EXERCISE.
HE GETS A LOT OF EXERCISE.
AND HE DROOLS.
THAT’S PART OF THE CHARM OF THE
BREED.
SO YOU HAVE TO BE READY FOR
THAT.
>> Steve: AND OF COURSE WITH THE
BIG DOG SHOW, PROBABLY THE FIRST
TIME HE’S EVER BEEN AROUND
HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE.
DO THE DOGS KIND OF FREAK OUT?
IT’S LIKE WHERE DO I LOOK?
I KNOW SHE WANTS ME TO FOLLOW
BUT THERE’S A KID UP IN THE 19TH
ROW.
>> HE TOOK IT VERY WELL BUT, YOU
KNOW, SOMETIMES YOU DO RUN INTO
THAT SITUATION, YOU JUST NEED TO
TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW THE DOG’S
GOING TO REACT TO SOMETHING
DIFFERENT.
>> YOU KNOW, HEATHER WHEN WE
WERE LOOKING FOR A DOG FOR OUR
FAMILY WE DID A LOT OF RESEARCH
TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS THE BEST
FOR OUR FAMILY’S NEEDS.
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?
WHAT TYPE OF FAMILY WOULD BE
GOOD TO OWN BLOOD HOUSE.
>> BLOOD HOUNDS NEED SPACE,
FENCED IN YARD, THIS NOSE GETS
THEM INTO A LOT OF TROUBLE
WITHOUT A FENCE.
THEY GET THE BEVERLY HILL BILLY
PORTRAYAL AS A LAZY DOG.
THEY ARE EVERYTHING BUT THAT.
>> AWESOME.
>> YEAH.
SO THEY REALLY ARE A GREAT
FAMILY DOG, THOUGH.
THEY’RE GREAT WITH CHILDREN.
THEY ARE VERY LOYAL DOGS.
>> Brian: FAN ANYBODY MISSED THE
SHOW LAST NIGHT, YOU CAN WATCH,
YOU CAN WATCH IT ALL ON FOX
NATION, ON FOX NATION.COM IF YOU
DON’T HAVE THE APP AND RELIVE
IT.
>> YEP.
>> ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS TO COVER.
>> CARLEY, COME ON IN.
