The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show welcomed six new breeds in 2011, and none was more popular on the opening Monday than the redbone coonhound.

Crowds flocked to ring five at 11 a.m. ET to see the finest examples of the breed -- known for its agility and muscular build -- grace the green carpet at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

And top prize for the newest breed on the block went to Rufus, a beautiful and playful 14-month-old redbone coonhound from Kentucky.
