Hungarian bobtail wins World Dog Show title

A Hungarian bobtail named Jimmy has won the ‘Best in Show’ title at the World Dog Show 2013 in Budapest, which featured 18,000 dogs from 70 countries. One of his owners is also a champion: Zsuzsanna Vörös won an Olympic and 12 world titles in modern pentathlon.

Six-year-old Jimmy, a Hungarian-bred old English sheepdog, registered with the full name ‘Bottom Shaker My Secret’, owned by Zsuzsanna Vörös and József Koroknai and bred by István Szetmár, has achieved an unprecedented success in the history of Hungarian caninology by winning this title.
