Who won the Westminster Dog Show in 2023? Breed results, group winners & Best in Show (1)

Anything is paw-sible!

The 147th Westminster Dog Show is officially in the history books and it was the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen (PBGV), "Buddy Holly" that emerged victorious at theUSTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York.

It is the first time a PBGV has ever won Best in Show at Westminster.

Buddy Holly beat out 34 other hounds en route to being named the group winner. Unsurprisingly, it was able to stave off the six challengers in the final round that were hounding down his back.

Owner and trainer Janice Hayes told Fox Sports, "I have dreamed of this since I was 9 years old," she said, before adding that Buddy Holly is "the epitome of a show dog, nothing bothers him."

It turned out to be a ruff day for the other six finalists, but the hit was softened for Rummie the Pekingese, who finished as the runner-up, winning Reserve Best in Show. Among the other finalists was last year's runner-up, Winston the French bulldog, who has received plenty of notoriety for his owner — Chargers defensive end Morgan Fox.

Regardless, it's paw-ty time for all these pups and especially Buddy Holly, who earned themselves a nice nap along with some treats and toys for all the hard work and long hours they put in over the last few days.
