Buddy Holly Wins ‘Best In Show’ At Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show

Buddy Holly, a Palm Springs Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen and winner of the Hound group at the 147th Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, where over 3,000 dogs with over 200 breeds participated in four different competitions, was awarded this year’s “Best in Show” award at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City on Tuesday.

“Buddy Holly is the epitome of a show dog. Nothing bothers him,” Janice Hayes, Buddy’s co-owner and handler, said of her dog. “He just screams PBGV. They’re just very independent but very charming and just silly. Their goal is to make you laugh every day.”

“We’re so proud of him,” she said.
