Winners of each breed are announced throughout the day and the Best of Breed winners will compete in their respective groups late Tuesday to determine the seven group winners that will take the stage for the Best in Show competition. The Best in Show competition will be judged by Cindy Vogels of Greenwood Village, Colo. Vogels will preside over a panel of 38 judges from 19 states. 

The Hound, Toy, Non-Sporting and Herding groups competed Monday in a fierce show of temperament, gait, coat and presence. Judges determined the winners of the groups late Monday.
