🌴🐶 Buddy Holly the Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen Wins Best in Show at Westminster Dog Show 🏆🐾
For the first time, a Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen named Buddy Holly won the top prize at Westminster, holding off six other group champions to triumph. 🥇🐕
Buddy Holly, a low-slung, whiskered Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen, won Best in Show at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show on Tuesday night, beating a field of fellow champions, including last year’s runner-up. 🎉🐾
Buddy Holly’s owner and trainer, Janice Hayes, said she had been dreaming about this since she was 9 years old. She described Buddy Holly as “the epitome of a show dog; nothing bothers him.” 🌟🐶
Buddy Holly is the first dog of his breed to win Best in Show at Westminster. Rummie, a Pekingese with a handler who had produced two previous Best in Show winners, came in second. 🥈🐩
The finalists represented a range of options for the experienced judge, Beth Sweigart, who had the task of picking the most outstanding one. Among the contenders were the low-slung Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen; the dignified sweep of the floor-hugging Pekingese, Rummie; and the flowing coat of Cider, the English Setter, who seemed to glide around the ring. 🏵️🐾
Winston, the French Bulldog who was runner-up last year, returned as a crowd favorite, challenged by the terrier perfection of the American Staffordshire, Trouble; the luminous, cloud-like coat of Ribbon, the Australian Shepherd; and the velvet-like sheen of Monty, the Giant Schnauzer. 😍🐕
Each dog was judged not on their cuteness or competition charm but on how well they adhered to the standard of their breed. Sweigart took her time with her choice, running her hands and eyes over all the finalists, building the drama before choosing her champion. 🧐🏆
Buddy Holly joined a line of winners that in recent years has represented a variety of breeds in a competition long dominated by terriers, from last year’s winner, a jowly Bloodhound named Trumpet, to his immediate predecessors, a Pekingese named Wasabi and a black Standard Poodle named Siba. 🎖️🐩
If show dogs can feel the sting of defeat, then it will sting for Winston. He was the runner-up last year — the official title is Reserve Best in Show — but failed to break through despite a pristine, smooth coat and a square head that won over the crowd. They had hoped to see him take the top spot after last year’s close call. 😢🐶
