Early Life

Birth and Pedigree

K-Run's Park Me In First, affectionately known as Uno, was born on May 5, 2005, in , as one of four puppies in a litter delivered in the garage of his breeder, Kathy Weichert. Weichert co-bred the litter with Leah Bertagnolli under the K-Run kennel prefix, adhering to (AKC) standards for the breed. Uno was a 15-inch beagle, measuring approximately 15 inches at the shoulder, with a classic black tri-color coat consisting of black, tan, and white markings, which aligned with the AKC's description of acceptable colors such as black, tan, and white. He was sired by Am. GCH. Windkist A Walk In The Park (often called ), a champion known for his show success, and out of Am. CH. Legacy's Lil Secret at K-Run (known as Secret), both parents contributing to his strong genetic foundation for conformation. His AKC registration number is HP16966001, confirming his status within the hound group. Initially under Weichert's care as a co-owner, was transferred to professional handler Wilkerson for development, with eventual co-ownership shared among Weichert, Dowell, Dziuk, and Woodring. As a member of the 15-inch variety, Uno exemplified the breed's sturdy build—solid and "big for their inches" at 20-30 pounds—with a smooth, dense double coat and a merry, friendly that made Beagles well-suited for the conformation ring, where their curious and companionable nature shines. This early environment in Weichert's garage provided a modest, hands-on start, setting the stage for his transition to formal training under Wilkerson.

Initial Training and Development

K-Run's Park Me In First, affectionately known as , was born on May 5, 2005, in the garage of breeder Kathy Weichert's home in , where he experienced an early home environment conducive to socialization. At approximately six months old, in late 2005, Uno was placed under the care of professional handler Aaron Wilkerson in , who began grooming him for the show ring by focusing on essential skills such as gaiting and stacking, while nurturing his natural traits for confident ring presence. Wilkerson's training regimen emphasized Uno's inherent hound behaviors, integrating elements of scent awareness to enhance his alert and engaging performance without distracting from the competition standards. Uno entered his first dog show at six months of age, shortly after joining Wilkerson, and quickly accumulated points toward his AKC championship title, achieving it by late 2006 through consistent performances in early competitions. During this foundational period, Uno's signature "merry" personality emerged prominently, characterized by his constant tail-wagging and playful, crowd-engaging demeanor that captivated judges and spectators alike, aligning with the Beagle breed standard's description of a "merry" . This engaging temperament, further refined under Wilkerson's guidance, became a key asset in his development as a , setting the stage for his competitive success.

Show Career

Pre-Westminster Achievements

K-Run's Park Me In First, affectionately known as , earned his (AKC) championship title early in his show career, marking the beginning of a rapid ascent in competitive dog showing. By February 2008, he had accumulated 32 Best in Show (BIS) awards at AKC-sanctioned events, a testament to his consistent excellence across the national show circuit. Throughout 2007, Uno demonstrated particular dominance in the Hound Group, securing multiple Group 1 victories that highlighted his superior movement and conformation to the AKC beagle standard. A standout achievement came in December 2007, when he won the Hound Group at the prestigious in , further solidifying his reputation among top hounds. These successes contributed to Uno finishing the year as the sixth-ranked all-breed show dog in the United States, an impressive feat for a 15-inch beagle. Exclusively handled by professional Aaron Wilkerson, Uno's campaign emphasized his expressive, merry demeanor and precise adherence to breed ideals, which captivated judges and elevated his profile within the community. As one of the leading 15-inch beagles in competition, his pre-Westminster record positioned him as a formidable contender, drawing attention for breaking long-standing barriers for the breed in major events.

2008 Westminster Victory

The 132nd was held on February 12 and 13, 2008, at in , drawing 2,627 entries across 169 breeds and varieties. On the first evening, K-Run's Park Me In First, a 15-inch known as Uno and handled by Aaron Wilkerson, competed in the Hound Group against 25 other finalists. Judge Ralph Lemcke selected Uno as the group winner, praising his excellent movement and overall conformation that exemplified the . This victory advanced Uno to the Best in Show competition the following night, where he faced six other group winners. On February 13, under the scrutiny of Best in Show judge Dr. J. Donald Jones, Uno demonstrated superior gaiting with effortless strides, an alert and expressive face, and engaging antics such as vigorous tail-wagging that elicited cheers from the sold-out crowd of over 15,000 spectators. Dr. Jones awarded Uno the prestigious Best in Show ribbon, marking the first time a had claimed the top honor at since the show's founding in 1877. It was also the first beagle victory in the Hound Group since 1939, when Ch. Meadowlark Draftsman took the honor. Entering the event with 32 prior Best in Show wins, Uno's triumph highlighted his established competitive prowess from smaller circuits. The victory sparked immediate and widespread media coverage, transforming Uno into an as the charismatic from the small town of .

Retirement from Showing

Following his victory at the 2008 , which marked the career peak for K-Run's Park Me In First—commonly known as —the decision to retire him from competitive showing was announced in March 2008. Handler Aaron Wilkerson and co-owner Caroline Dowell, along with Uno's other owners, determined that the Westminster Best in Show title represented the pinnacle achievement, leaving no further competitive goals to pursue. Westminster officials, including spokesman Frei, advised retirement to preserve the dog's legacy and allow other competitors opportunities, noting that most Best in Show winners retire shortly after the event, with the last repeat Westminster winner occurring in 1972. By the time of his retirement, Uno had amassed 33 Best in Show awards, establishing him as one of the top beagles of his era in the 15-inch variety and ranking him No. 1 among all beagles at the time. This tally, while short of the breed record by approximately a dozen awards, solidified his status as a standout competitor who had entered with 32 such honors already. The early retirement at just under three years old was seen as strategic, ensuring his Westminster triumph remained the defining moment rather than risking dilution through additional shows. Wilkerson and Dowell planned Uno's transition to focus on ambassadorial roles, leveraging his fame from the Westminster win to represent the breed beyond the show ring. This shift emphasized his charismatic personality and public appeal, moving away from the rigors of competition to more celebratory engagements that highlighted his achievements. The handlers had initially targeted 50 Best in Show titles but prioritized a graceful exit atop the rankings. Uno's success significantly boosted interest in the 15-inch beagle variety, sparking widespread "Beaglemania" and elevating the breed's visibility in showing and breeding circles. His win as the first beagle to claim Best in Show inspired greater appreciation for the larger variant, contributing to increased registrations and enthusiasm among breeders and enthusiasts in subsequent years.

Post-Show Activities

Later that summer, on August 24, 2008, he repeated the honor at Busch Stadium in during a Cardinals game against the , retrieving the pitch from the team's , Fredbird, amid a pre-game parade of dogs. In November 2008, Uno joined the in , riding atop the Peanuts-themed float—a massive replica of Snoopy's doghouse—as a nod to the iconic character and his own breed's cultural resonance. This high-visibility role further cemented his status as a beloved figure in American pop culture. His home state recognized his achievements on March 5, 2008, when Lieutenant Governor Pat Quinn declared "Uno the Day," honoring the Belleville native's contributions to promoting purebred dogs and the state's kennel heritage, including a ceremonial link to Abraham Lincoln's own companion. Uno's fame translated into media endorsements and recurring appearances on dog show broadcasts, where he served as a guest and ambassador for the sport. He was notably associated with Purina Pro Plan, the food brand that fueled his victory and subsequent champions, appearing in promotional events tied to the company's sponsorship of major competitions.

Joshua Bleill, and eliciting smiles from ailing patients during visits that spanned several years. His celebrity status enhanced the appeal of therapy interventions, inspiring donations and expanded participation in similar efforts without overshadowing the core therapeutic focus.
