Lepshi wasn’t the only standout at the 147th annual show, though. Around 2,500 dogs from 210 breeds strutted their stuff at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in on May 8. Each breed produced a rightful winner and the top dogs were then separated into seven groups to determine the overall champion.A Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen named Buddy Holly won the coveted Best in Show award. The shaggy six-year-old from Palm Springs was the first of his breed to score the contest’s top prize, as reported by. PBGVs were bred to track hares through the rugged terrain in the Vendée district of France, but the humble breed has now made it to the world stage.
“I never thought a PBGV would do this,” handler and co-owner Janice Hayes said after the win. “Buddy Holly is the epitome of a show dog. Nothing bothers him.”Buddy Holly bested the six other finalists to take home what is considered the most prestigious dog show award in the U.S. This year’s Best in Show reserve was a Pekingese named Rummie. The fluffy toy dog has the winning coat in our eyes, though.
