'Solei', the cool Belgian dog, wins Best in Show 2025!

PHILADELPHIA – The stage was rocked when Soleil, a majestic jet-black Belgian Sheepdog, stole the show and the hearts of the judges at the 2025 National Dog Show on November 28, 2025, and took home the Best in Show crown to a chorus of cheers.

Six-year-old Soleil didn't come to play. She came with over 100% confidence and a graceful catwalk-like gait, forcing over 2,000 competitors to make way. It's safe to say she won the crown without a doubt.

✨ Soleil's success that made her win the crown

• Beautiful, captivating everyone's eyes. The judges even praised her, saying, "Perfectly beautiful, without any flaws."

• Godly footwork, not a single wrong step

• Queen's temperament, loves the stage, loves the bright lights, loves the cheers.

  "That's her magic," says her trusty caretaker, Daniel Martin.

Soleil had to overcome many obstacles like a Shih Tzu with 143 Best in Show titles and a Miniature Schnauzer who was the number one in the country. But in the end, no one could stand against Soleil's beauty, talent and confidence.

This win not only shot Soleil into stardom overnight, but also cemented the female's place in a field traditionally dominated by males. Keep your eyes peeled for Soleil, as this could be just the beginning of her path to legendary status! 👑🐾
