The Importance of Correct Conformation
Every AKC Parent Club is required to develop a breed standard unique to the form and function of their own breed. The PBGV is a very athletic and versatile scent hound developed to hunt the rough terrain in the Vendee region of France. In order to hunt tirelessly in such demanding terrain the correct construction of this hound is imperative. Dedicated breeders strive to follow the breed standard for correctness of bone and musculature, coat quality and attitude in order to consistently produce a hound with sufficient drive to hunt efficiently. This correctness also translates to success in additional performance activities such as FAST CAT, the Conformation ring, Hunt, Obedience, Rally, Agility, and Scent Work.
