Sh Ch/Aust Ch. Hungargunn Bear It'n Mind (born December 22, 2002 - December 10, 2012), also known as Yogi, was a male Hungarian Vizsla who was the Best in Show at Crufts in 2010. He was the record holder for Best in Show victories at all breed championship shows in the UK, having gained 18 of these awards, breaking the record in 2010 which had previously stood for eighty years; this was subsequently beaten in September 2014.
Yogi, who went by the show name of Hungargunn Bear It'n Mind, was bred by Mrs Naomi Cragg of Sydney, Australia. His sire was Australia Grand Champion Hubertus Dealers Choice, and dam was Aust. Ch Hungargunn Unforgettable. He was first brought to the UK from Australia in 2004.
Yogi was entered in Crufts in 2009 in the Open Dog category of his breed. He won the class and took both the Best of Breed title and Gun dog group titles. A Sealyham Terrier named Ch. Efbe's Hidalgo At Goodspice went on to win Best in Show with a Standard Poodle taking the reserve prize. The other finalists were a Pharaoh Hound, an Old English Sheepdog, a Boxer and a Papillon.
In 2010 nearly 22,000 dogs across 187 breeds were entered in the competition. Yogi won the Gun dog group although the judging was delayed by a streaker. Later the same day he was crowned best in show, becoming the first Hungarian Vizsla to do so. The Scottish Terrier CH Rus/Slo/Eur Filisite Brash Celebration, aka Rico, from Russia took second prize and other competitors in the best in show class included a Rottweiler, a Welsh Corgi, and the same Pharaoh Hound from the previous year.
