Thousands of dogs. Hundreds of breeds. And just one top dog will be crowned at the Westminster Kennel Club show Tuesday night. The best in show trophy will be awarded around 11 p.m. in New York to one of seven finalists.

The Westminster Kennel Club show is considered the most prestigious dog show in the U.S. Monty, this year's top dog, made the finals for the third year in a row and won the American Kennel Club’s big show in December.

Monty's competition included a bichon frisé called Neal, a Skye terrier named Archer, a whippet and repeat runner-up known as Bourbon and a shih tzu called Comet who's been a finalist before.
