Organizers say the event on Saturday in Mississauga, Ont., brought together 814 dogs representing 135 breeds from across Canada.

The Reserve Best in Show, or runner-up, was awarded to Rambo, a Miniature American Shepherd owned by Kelli Rettie from Thamesford, Ont., which came with a $1,000 prize.

The Canadian Kennel Club says over half a million Canadians attended one of 4,000 purebred dog events across Canada last year.

Founded in 1888, the Canadian Kennel Club says it is the primary registry body for purebred dogs in Canada and currently recognizes 187 breeds.
