The 2025 AKC National Championship, presented by Royal Canin, has officially crowned its 25th champion and one dog rose above them all.
Held December 13–14 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, the nation’s largest dog show brought together the top dogs from across the country, all competing for the prestigious title of Best in Show.
*SPOILER*
After besting six elite group winners, the Lhasa Apso “JJ” (GCHP CH Ta Sen Westgate Jingle Juice) claimed the ultimate honor and was crowned America’s National Champion. The five-year-old Lhasa, handled by Susan Giles, first captured the Non-Sporting Group before taking home the top prize of the entire show.
JJ is owned by Susan Giles, Cindy Sehnert, and Muriel Wolverton, and was bred by Susan Giles, Cindy Sehnert, and Ellen Lonigro.
🏆 A truly unforgettable championship moment — watch how history was made.
