"PBGV Makes History as First Breed to Win Westminster Dog Show"

A petit basset griffon Vendéen named Buddy Holly won Best in Show at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show, becoming the first of his breed to do so. The small hounds are the 154th most prevalent purebreds in the US, and Buddy Holly has also lived and competed in the UK, Ireland, and Australia. About 2,500 dogs of 210 breeds and varieties vied for the trophy, and Buddy Holly beat six other finalists to win the most prestigious dog show award in the US.
