The First Lady of the Westminster Kennel Club Makes Her Bravo Debut

Westminster Kennel Club President Dr. Donald “Don” Sturz and his beautiful 9-month-old Pekingese, Fiona, played the role of bartenders during the May 5 episode of the Bravo talk show, “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.”

While speaking to the show’s host, Bravo producer Andy Cohen, Sturz stated that despite Fiona’s young age, she has already taken home major prizes.

“She took the world by storm. She went to her first three shows, beat all the champions. And she’s already a champion,” shared Sturz.

He clarified that Fiona will not be competing in the 2024 Westminster Dog Show, held from May 11 to May 14.

“I think it’s a little off color for the president of the Westminster to show his dog. It’s not a good look. But she’s the First Lady of Westminster,” said the president of the Westminster Kennel Club.

Sturz made similar comments about his dog not participating in the 2024 dog show during a May 2024 interview with Fox News. He also stated that Fiona’s biological father, Wasabi, took home the prize for "Best in Show" in 2021.

“She’s Westminster royalty,” said Sturz.
