The final three groups at the 2017 Westminster Dog Show -- the Sporting, Working and Terrier groups — competed in the ring on Tuesday evening. These three groups followed the Hound, Toy, Herding, and Non-Sporting dogs, which were in show on Monday. The winners will vie for the ultimate prize of Best in Show at the end of Tuesday evening.

Adrian, the Irish Setter, was the champion of the Sporting group, which is comprised of hunting and retrieving dogs. Adrian is the 11th Irish Setter to win the competition.

Good dog.

Devlin, the Boxer, took home first place in the Working Group, while Nik, the Akita, finished in second. Devlin’s handler mentioned after the competition that this would be Devlin’s last show. Way to go out on top.

Here is Devlin before heading into the ring.

The Terriers were the last group to compete on Tuesday evening. There were a lot of great dogs, but ultimately Tanner, the Norwich Terrier, won the group.

These three winners will now compete with the other four group winners for the Best in Show title.
