[@foxsports]

Congrats Buddy Holly!🏆

[@not-pc6937]

Our PBGV (Fleetwood ) is Buddy’s son - I showed him this last night and he just walked away🤷‍♂️told him his dad was now a champion and he showed no interest !!! No pleasing some dogs 😁😁

[@anitasings1]

SO happy that Buddy Holly won! Well deserved. A gorgeous and sweet dog!💙💙💙

[@alexglanz7406]

All amazing dogs this year...Buddy Holly outstanding

[@PeachShortcake_]

He's great, but I'm shocked that he won BIS. The new judges this year seemed to want to shake things up

[@alexglanz7406]

@@PeachShortcake_ Right!! Honestly, he did not look like truly typical PBGV, and I've seen them work a scent. I thought the Am Staff was exceptional...but it's all good

[@KW_814]

​@@alexglanz7406 completely wrong sorry. Buddy is a Soletrader bred by Gavin Robertson 100% pbgv. My boy was a Soletrader,recently passed🌈. Not show worthy but a solid,joyful dog❤

[@susannahagnone9556]

So agree about temperament, etc

[@teresaneal6521]

I love this dog! So happy for Buddy Holly! ❤

[@elleeme9451]

Why did this make me cry! Happy tears!

[@thehappyhippie3826]

It's not just the fact he won - but what a line-up! The competition was as strong as ever. Well done you, Buddy! We are sooo happy for you. (And did you see the hair on that Pekingese? First I thought it was a baboon!!)

[@michellecox1933]

They're all adorable ❤ my favorites were the Am Staff, Trouble, and the English Setter, Cider.

[@jakrispy5918]

What a charming guy Buddy is! Love him. “Hey, woah, where’s that judge puttin’ her hands?”

[@mariapower6961]

I LOVE THAT BREED! So sweet!!

[@vanessasworder]

Great choice absolutely beautiful and rare breed ❤

[@tarawhite4419]

Cuteness overload

[@bettypierce552]

Congratulations to Buddy Holly ❤🎉

[@pennyparham4123]

A way to remember the Great Buddy Holly

[@jekku4688]

GREAT winning breed, he's so adorable, but weren't they ALL??? Such a tough decision for that judge!

[@truecynic1270]

What I LOVE SO MUCH is that every breed is represented so that PROVES that EVERY BREED of dog can be PERFECT - temperament, train-ability and response to their changeable environments because THEY ARE PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@chanj1950]

I am excited see an Am Staff make to BIS.

[@Oxford322]

What a gorgeous boy!!

[@angelarios8305]

So glad to see a different breed win! I stopped watching the show due to the fact that the same breeds win over and over and I really believe the judges are bias and still do.

[@hollissensenig1775]

Buddy Holly! My Mom claims she never heard of The “Buddy Holly.” I was about 5 years old when he died. But I remember my mom playing Buddy Holly. What a line-up!

[@OnewYork]

👏Congratulations buddy holly 🐕 🥇 basset ..

[@joannamariegallo5096]

Pekinges be like "I may not win this Competition but I sure will be treat as a princess" 😂😂😂😂

[@Puppy_juice]

정말 멋있어요❤❤❤❤❤

[@lesliemiller2170]

Glad to see am staf

[@mahomesmagic8321]

Winston the Frenchie placed second two years in a row! I think his final walk he didn't acknowledge the judge as well as he could did him in :(

[@ardishorwich4601]

When Winston came out boy did he hustle. All I could think was “Look at him go!”

[@nikig2382]

I’m pretty sure the Peke placed 2nd this year…

[@_sprook_]

That Pekingese doesn’t even look like a dog lmao… it looks like a mop

[@Mclem2k24]

Oh boy!!

[@aprilseigfried1156]

I agreed with the judge, but my second best in the show is Giant Schnauzer and third is Australian shephard. Congrats to Buddy Holly and his handler!

[@ur_nephew8628]

My auntie (Cathy O Neill AKA the owner in Ireland) says Buddy Holly will be meeting the president

[@coveyssteve]

How embarrassing for him. Old Joe won't even remember.

[@mariomartins2694]

I get that they have a job to do and want to take it seriously but why don't these judges ever smile? They look miserable. Again, I get that it's an important job but you're surrounded by beautiful dogs. Smile!

[@tdk9518]

I doubt that they never smile. They have a job to do and no one cares if they smile or not apart from casual observers on the internet.

[@Subzer0Domain]

Why are all these dogs smarter than most Americans?

[@lucasdefrance9153]

"vendéen" ? Ohh so a french dog !! 👍

[@judycook4314]

Will a Golden Retriever ever win???? Or a Westie???

[@Chels-fz5uq]

I’ve never seen a Pekingese like that with that much hair

[@Michael_R1957]

Congratulations to Buddy Holy. However, Winston was robbed!

[@Pitts_not_Pitty]

If this is ethical whos willing to volunteer their children for my "pure breeding" program?

[@Jamesstan24]

If the dogs 🐕 are so great they shouldn’t need treats correct?

[@truecynic1270]

Oh, you POOR ignorant person - YOU don't understand ANYTHING about dogs, their behaviour or their needs.

[@blackheart-ec8re]

they’re still unpredictable as we’re unable to truly communicate effectively with them with so much at stake it’s being safe. plus they deserve it. don’t be weird

[@truecynic1270]

@@blackheart-ec8re You and 80% of all people who have no business having dogs. Sure, dogs are unpredictable if they are UNTRAINED and the owner has no idea of dog BODY language ( ALL dogs). Just like the person who told me that all dogs bite which is the biggest lie of all! Dogs have social skills which is why socializing them is so important - and socializing them with other socialized dogs. Dogs learn to play nip and learn bite inhibition. Dogs bite when they are fearful, terrified and victims of ABUSE and mishandling, bored, not exercised, etc. and under socialized. Humans are completely to BLAME for a dog's behaviour and reactivity. Get informed before you judge someone for knowledge you don't have. A judgmental person is not a wise person.

[@tdk9518]

If they're so great at what? They're just dogs so they can get bored and distracted, treats are something to keep them interested and enjoying the experience.

[@truecynic1270]

@@tdk9518 Dogs are kinder, more intelligent, more stable, more honest and simply so much better than MOST of humanity which doesn't deserve to have dogs live with them. "ALL DOGS GO TO HEAVEN BUT IT'S CERTAINLY QUESTIONABLE IF HUMANS DESERVE TO JOIN THEM THERE"

Don’t make this political Thomas teddy should’ve won buddy holly tested positive for steroids

May be the voting machines were rigged?
