From Warren Remedy to Banana Joe, the honor of "Best in Show" at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show is a title only 106 dogs have ever won. It was awarded for the first time in 1907. The gallery above shows all the recorded past winners who were photographed or painted up to the 2013 winner, the small affenpinscher named Banana Joe.

First held in 1877, the Westminster Kennel Club dog show is America's second-longest continuously held sporting event, behind to the Kentucky Derby, according to the club's .

Most recently, over 180 breeds competed at the 2013 Westminster Kennel Club in New York City on Monday and Tuesday. Though crowd-favorite Swagger, an old English sheepdog, drew the most cheers -- it was the 5-year-old Banana Joe who became America’s top dog.

There were 2,721 entries among the 187 breeds and varieties at the show, including the outdoorsy sporting and hound groups. Twenty-month-old Swagger was selected as the runner-up.
