At the 154th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, a Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen named Buddy Holly won the prestigious Best in Show award, marking the first time a PBGV has won the award. Co-owned and handled by Janice Hayes, Buddy Holly beat out six other finalists, including a Pekingese aiming to bring home the third trophy in 11 years for its breed. Buddy Holly's win is a major accomplishment for the PBGV breed, and a testament to the hard work and dedication of Hayes and her team.
