Ch. Briergate Bright Beauty was an Airedale Terrier and the best in show winner at the 1919 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.[1] She was bred by Mr. Davidson,[2] owned by G. L. L. Davis of St. Louis,[1] and at the show was handled by Alfred Delmont.[1][2] Bright Beauty was an imported dog.[1]

Bright Beauty was not a popular pick for best in show.[2] Most thought that best in show would be awarded to Haymarket Faultless.[2] Instead, Faultless took reserve winner, and the judges awarded Bright Beauty best in show.[2] The show was judged by Harry T. Peters, Theodore Offerman, and J. Willoughby Mitchell.[4]
