Best in show at Westminster: Buddy¹ Holly², a petit basset griffon Vendéen

Transcript³

The 6-year-old PBGV bested six other finalists and made history — it was the first win for that breed. PBGVs belong to the hound group, and are known for their rabbit-hunting abilities.

(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "RAVE⁴ ON")

BUDDY HOLLY: (Singing) Well the little things you say and do...

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep.

Buddy Holly made history. The dog named after the rock 'n' roll legend is - give me a second here - a petit basset griffon Vendeen. That's PBGV for short. And Buddy Holly is the first PBGV to win the best in show at Westminster Kennel⁵ Club Dog Show. Winston the Frenchie was a crowd favorite and was expected to come out as top dog, but Buddy prevailed. He's a rock star.

It's MORNING EDITION.
