\"Cj\"<\/img><\/a> A female Doberman pinscher named Ch. Allure Blazing Star Alisaton has won the working group at Westminster, marking a special birthday — she turned 4\u00a0on Monday, the first day of competition at the prestigious dog show.<\/p>\n

The winning doberman, called C.J. for short, comes from a long line of top-winning show dogs, according to USA Today<\/a>; her great-grandmother won Best in Show at Westminster in 1989<\/a>. <\/p>\n

If you’re wondering how C.J.’s owners came up with a nickname so far from her registered name, wonder no longer: It’s short for Calamity Jane, because she has a knack for getting into trouble, according to the Providence Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

C.J. beat a female boxer named Ch. Winfall Brookwood Styled Dream, a female Portuguese water dog named Ch. Aviators Luck Be a Lady and a male Alaskan malamute named Ch. Sno Klassic Play the Game to win the working group. <\/p>\n

Working group winners have gone on to be named Best in Show<\/a> at Westminster 15 times; Dobermans have won four times. <\/p>\n

C.J. competes Tuesday night against a whippet<\/a>, a toy poodle<\/a>, a French bulldog<\/a>, a puli<\/a>, a brittany<\/a> and a Scottish terrier for the title of Best in Show.<\/p>\n
