Governor Moscow was a liver and white Pointer and winner of the 1925 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.[1] He was the first Pointer to take best in show at Westminster,[1] despite the fact that the club's logo prominently features a Pointer.[2]
He was purchased by Pittsburgh coal magnate Robert F. Maloney as a hunting dog,[2] and was noted as being excellent at it.[1] He went on to sire nine other champion dogs.[1] One of his descendants, Chiming Bells, went on to win the 1958 Crufts best in show.[1]
