Viking is from Solihull, Birmingham and is co-owned by Melanie Raymond, John Shaw and Kerry Kirtley. Raymond was impressed with the Australian shepherd, expressing her pride in the dog when asked if it lived up to expectations.

"He did actually, I should never doubt him because he always gives me everything and you come in and he's like 'yep, come on let's do this'. So he loves every minute of it," she said, per the broadcast.

Zen, a Jack Russell terrier from Japan, was named reserve dog. The nine-year-old also won the terrier group prior to the Best in Show results. The other major Day 4 winner was Get Me, a Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen who took home first-place in the hound group.
