Posing like the very symbol of the Westminster Kennel Club, a German shorthaired pointer called Carlee became America's top dog Tuesday night.

　　The 5-year-old female with the soft eyes and gliding gait won best in show, beating out a popular Norfolk terrier, a champion bloodhound and a wobbling Pekingese.

　　Carlee became the second German shorthaired pointer to win at Westminster, and was a direct descendant of the other winner in 1974.
