The Westminster Kennel Club dog show concluded Tuesday night with a petit basset griffin Vendeen (PBGV) named Buddy Holly taking home the Best In Show Trophy.
Named after the Rock and Roll legend who died in a plane crash in 1959, Buddy was described as being a showman from start to finish.
It is the first time a dog of his breed has ever won.
In second place was - Rummie , a pekingese.
Getting a dog ready and putting one out for a competition like this could run into tens of thousands of dollars - yet there is no cash prize.
The winner receives a Westminster, Legend Trophy which is a hand engraved crystal bowl.
Would you spend that much to enter your dog in that most prestigious competition?
Even if he doesn't win he might score a movie roll.

He's a cutie...love the name. Someone I know shows dogs. It is more work than people realize. She takes her dogs to specialized classes...to learn how to strut their stuff.

I suppose it is more the pride of willing than getting any money

I have heard of this dog show but I never watched it. I never had an interest to watch it. I am a dog owner but just don't think I would watch the dog show

Winning a movie role would be worth it. Otherwise, I wouldn't pay that much for a show that doesn't have a money prize.
