Buddy Holly, the Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen, Makes History with Best in Show Win at Westminster.
Buddy Holly, a 6-year-old Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen (PBGV) from Palm Springs, California, made history as the first PBGV to win Best in Show at the 2023 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Handler and co-owner Janice Hayes knew from the age of 9 that she would train a champion dog. Buddy Holly's balanced body, compact size, mustache, long eyebrows, and confident attitude made him stand out among the seven finalists. The champion dog loves treats and the camera, but has now retired from competition.
