AKC/Eukanuba National Championship Names Australian Shepherd Best in Show

This dog is a force to be, well, reckoned with. CH Propwash Reckon, a 2-year-old Australian Shepherd known affectionately as “Reckon,” beat out nearly 2,500 canine competitors for the coveted title of Best in Show at the 10th annual AKC/Eukanuba National Championship at the Long Beach Convention Center.

“We are proud to have Reckon join the family of Best in Show winners at the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship,” said Show Chairman Ron Menaker. “We had a record-breaking entry this year of highly competitive canine athletes in conformation, agility, obedience and the Eukanuba World Challenge. Congratulations to all the winners!”

Reckon won not only bragging rights at the championship but also the Eukanuba Celebration of Champions Trophy (which is designed to look like its winner), a check for $50.000 and a year’s supply of Eukanuba dog food. Reckon is owned by Leslie Frank and Judy Harrington of Kensington, N.H. Last year’s winner was Sadie, a Scottish Terrier.
