An Italian bracco named Lepshi won an award at the prestigious Westminster Kennel Dog Show, the most important US dog contest that for the first time paraded specimens of his breed.
Lepshi, who is six years old and co-owned by country and TV series 1883 star Tim McGraw, beat eight rival poachers: "It's a wonderful specimen of this hunting breed," said Ryan Wolfe who brought him on the catwalk to New York.
The Bracchi entered this year's competition in Westminster after being recognised by the American Kennel Club, which administers the competition. The Westminster first prize went to Buddy Holly, a Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen, a breed known as an excellent rabbit hunter. (ANSA).
