2023 Westminster Dog Show Champion Flies Home to London on Shared Private Jet Flight
CH. Soletrader Buddy Holly, Best In Show winner of the 2023 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, knows how to travel in style.
After a year of media appearances and some well-deserved down time, the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen (often referred to as PBGV) is returning home to his breeders in London.
Buddy will make his way across the Atlantic in the comfort of his own seat aboard an aircraft operated by K9JETS and accompanied by a professional pet travel guardian, Christian Diaz, owner and president of Signature Pet Transport.

“We’ve had the pleasure of working with Buddy’s co-owner and handler Janice Hayes for many years, so when she asked us to help get Buddy back to the U.K., we jumped at the chance to provide him with the very best in pet air travel,” Diaz remarked. “I’ll personally accompany Buddy from Janice’s care after the Westminster Dog Show to London where we will meet up with Buddy’s co-owners and breeders, Lizzie Cadmore, Gavin and Sara Robertson, of the esteemed SoleTrader Kennel.”
For thousands of show dogs and pets across the U.S., traveling with a commercial air carrier is difficult. Unless an owner is willing to put their pet in the cold, noisy cargo hold of the aircraft, only small dogs that can fit under the aircraft seat in a carrier are allowed in the aircraft cabin. Thankfully, operators like K9Jets have configured their cabins to accommodate larger dogs and their owners who aren’t able to fly with a commercial air carrier.
“Pet comfort is paramount for us, so we’ve created a stress-free experience for our canine clients. Spacious seats, ample cabin space, and even treats for the pets are all part of the K9JETS experience. Dogs don’t even need to be in a carrier during the flight, helping them relax and enjoy their travel,” said Adam Golder, Founder of K9JETS.
Buddy’s remarkable journey home is just one of hundreds made possible each year by Signature Pet Transport and K9JETS.
