GCH Banana Joe V Tani Kazari, also known as Joe, is a 10 year old toy Affenpinscher, that won Best In Show at the 137th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show on February 12, 2013. Banana Joe was the first of his breed to win Best in Show at Madison Square Garden. This was his last show, and following it Joe went home to the Netherlands to be with his owner Mieke Cooijmans.
The Affenpinscher Banana Joe V Tani Kazari was born on March 30, 2007. He was sired by Kyleakin Space Cowboy to Bling Bling V Tani Kazari. He was bred by Mieke Cooymans, and co-owned by Cooymans and Zoila Truesdale. Joe has been taught commands in English, Dutch, Spanish and German.
In 2010, he reached the Best in Show round at the 2010 National Dog Show. After being entered into the Westminster Kennel Club dog show in 2011, Joe went on to be named best of breed for Affenpinschers for the first time at the show. He qualified for the Toy Group judging round next, and placed second in the group against the Pekingese GCH Palacegarden Malachy. Later in 2011, Joe won back to back Best in Show titles at the Trenton Kennel Club in New Jersey over the course of a single weekend. He also once again won the Toy Group and reached the Best in Show round at the National Dog Show, but was beaten by the Wire Fox Terrier GCH Steele Your Heart.
A similar situation to the result of the 2011 Westminster occurred the following year. Joe again won best of breed and qualified for the Toy Group round. Again he was beaten into second place by Malachy, who went on to win Best in Show. He reached the Best in Show round of the Detroit Kennel Club, with the American Foxhound Ch Kiarry's Pandora's Box taking the title. At the National Capital Kennel Club those roles were reversed, with Joe winning Best in Show and Pandora's Box placed in reserve. He also repeated his success at the National Dog Show, and for the third year in a row, he reached the Best in Show round. Joe was also best of breed at Crufts in 2012.
