NEW YORK (Reuters) - Like many Westminster grand champions, CJ became an A-list star when he won the most prestigious event on the U.S. dogshow calendar three years ago, but his owner says the German shorthaired pointer is still a beloved family pet at heart.

CJ's hectic schedule in the days after he was crowned "Best in Show" included appearances on "Fox & Friends," "Good Morning America," "The View" and other television shows. There was a glitzy trip to the top of One World Trade Centre, the nation's tallest building, and a photo-op with fashion designer Michael Kors at Sardi's Restaurant in New York's Theatre District.
