The result was keep. Seems to be a consensus that the tiger (err, dog) is notable, and the sources seem to confirm this claim. – Juliancolton | Talk 03:06, 24 December 2009 (UTC) reply
This was a bit of a confusing article when I found it, so I decided to clean it up a bit. And the resulting version didn't look up to much. After some attempts at improving it, I drew a blank, and so have decided to Afd it on grounds of basic notability. I could find nothing remotely corroborating what the article previously claimed, that Tiger is "one of the top show dogs in the United States". It seems from the passing mentions after he failed to win Best in Show in 2009, it might have been different had he won, but he didn't. Best of Breed and Hound Group, albeit in a top show, still looks unremarkable to me, and these feats are not particularly given much attention in the refs beyond routine coverage it seems (by comparison, there are countless breeds and even 7 overall Groups in that show). The one thing you would think would also get coverage, his celebrity name, hasn't really, with only this short LA TImes blog entry paying it any attention.

See this article from the Times Herald-Record. This article presents information about the deerhound's breed, age, and accomplishments. Although the dog's name may have garnered it coverage in the Times Herald-Record, the article is primarily about the deerhound's dog show accomplishments, not its name. I consider it original research to classify this article as being a "puff piece" when there is no evidence of it being so. The article discusses how the dog was the "winner of the Hound group and Best in Show competitor at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show" and how it would compete "against six other dogs for the title of Best in Show". The depth of coverage in this article is enough for this source to qualify as the "significant coverage" required by Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline.
Additionally, this blog from the Los Angeles Times provides decent coverage about this deerhound. This article verifies that the dog's owner is Gayle Bontecou and its handler is Clifford W. Steele. How does this article establish that Tiger Woods (dog) is notable? It states that "[a] Scottish deerhound has never won best in show at Westminster." Because the Los Angeles Times found it worthy to make this dog the subject of one of its publications, Tiger Woods (dog) is clearly notable.
This article from Dog Channel provides a paragraph of coverage about this deerhound. The article states "Tiger has accumulated an impressive show record, but taking the Group at the Garden is without a doubt his most illustrious win yet … quite a feat for a 7-year-old dog of a giant breed." Phrases such as "impressive show record" and "quite a feat" establish that this deerhound has notable achievements.
Winning "Best in Show" at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, a prestigious contest, is already a good indicator that Tiger Woods (dog) is notable. Receiving media coverage because of these accomplishments cements this notability. Cunard ( talk) 19:08, 23 December 2009 (UTC) reply
