Buddy Holly (the petit basset griffon Vendéen, not the late American singer…) was crowned Best in Show at the Westminster Dog Show in New York yesterday. It’s the first time the breed has won top honours at the prestigious annual event, which is considered the Super Bowl of dog shows. Buddy was up against some ruff competition including runner-up Rummie the Pekingese, Ribbon the Australian Shepherd, Cider the English Setter, Monty the Giant Schnauzer, Trouble the American Staffordshire Terrier, and last year’s runner-up and Westminster veteran, Winston the French bulldog. And not in the final 7 but winning the top prize for his breed’s debut was a Bracco Italiano named Lepshi, who is co-owned by country music star Tim McGraw.
