Tim McGraw’s dog, Lepshi, is also celebrated in his own right!
“So proud of Lepshi!! He’s always been a winner in our eyes,” the “I Need You” crooner, 56, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, May 9. “Lepshi won best of breed today for the Bracco Italiano, the first year for the breed at Westminster.”
The famed Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show took place earlier this month at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York. The annual event is a competition for purebred dogs, where judges watch pups from all backgrounds show off their best tricks. The competition marked the first time that there was a specific category for the Italian hunting breed.
“He’s a wonderful ambassador for the breed,” Lepshi’s handler, Ryan Wolfe, told the Associated Press of the 6-year-old canine. “Lepshi aces the breed’s trademark ground-covering trot [and] he loves everybody.”
After Lepshi won his category, the pup moved on to the semifinal round before he was ultimately eliminated.
Several of McGraw’s famous friends applauded the pup’s achievement. Rita Wilson replied “wow” while Garrett Hedlund — who previously asked the Blind Side star to be his and ex Emma Roberts’ son Rhodes’ godfather — sent three red heart emojis.
The 1883 actor — along with his wife, Faith Hill — have owned several Bracco Italiano dogs through the years. In addition to Lepshi, the pair currently share pups Caesar and Stromboli.
“He’s a glorified bird dog is all he is,” McGraw quipped of Stromboli during an August 2020 appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. “I think he’s called an Italian Bracco. We had a family of those dogs and he’s the last one left [and] we named them all Italian names [because of their breed].”
