Buddy Holly, a petit basset griffon Vendeen, won the Hound Dog group at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show and went on to be named top dog in the elite competition Tuesday in New York.
What defines a petite basset griffin Vendeen? According to the AKC: The Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen is a French scent hound developed first and foremost to hunt small game over the rough and difficult terrain of the Vendeen region. To function efficiently, he must be equipped with certain characteristics. He is bold and vivacious in character; compact, tough and robust in construction. He has an alert outlook, lively bearing and a good voice freely and purposefully used.
