We have a winner of the 2023 Westminster Dog Show — the 147th annual competition that took place at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center this year — among all the incredible canines we saw over the last few days.
Say hello to Buddy Holly, a Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen (or PBGV for short) that won the Hound Group first, then went on to take the Best in Show award for this year and joining the prestigious list of dogs to win it all over the years.
Buddy Holly also made history as the first PBGV to ever win Best in Show at Westminster and the second straight hound to win.
Take a look at some photos of the winner:
