Buddy Holly, a petit basset griffon Vendéen, made history Tuesday night in New York, claiming the “best in show” at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show.
Buddy Holly is first of its breed to take top honors since best in show was first awarded in 1907. (No best in show was awarded in 1923.) His competition included Rummie the Pekingese (who placed second “reserve best in show”), Winston the French bulldog, Ribbon the Australian shepherd and three other finalists selected Tuesday.
Nearly four dozen breeds have been honored in the 114 the best in show competitions, but one breed, the wire fox terrier, has won throughout the decades.
