10 Saber Tails Spring 2017

Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen Club of America

and support I received along the way.

WHAT OTHER PETS HAVE YOU HAD??

My husband and I first had a Springer and moved into 

English Cockers for many years. We have one 11 year old 

Engie but the rest are PB’s. Our Cocker has learned how to 

howl and now sounds like a hound dog!!

HOW LONG HAVE YO U BEEN INVOLVED IN THE CLUB??

I joined the PBGVCA in 2009. I really enjoy going to the 

National and seeing everyone from all over the United 

States come together to celebrate our mutual passion . 

I truly feel that through this breed I have made lifelong 

friends and have learned so much from this interesting 

group of people.

WHAT ACTIVITIES DO YOU ENJOY DOING WITH YOUR 

PBGV??

As I mentioned above, I love showing them in conforma-

tion. It is so challenging , frustrating and thrilling all at the 

same time. Our hounds LOVE going out with us on our 

boat.  Who would have thought that this breed would 

adore going out on the water so much but if they see us 

getting ready to head out they DEMAND to join us. There 

are such an amusing breed and they make us laugh every 

day - even when they get into trouble they bring a smile 

to our faces.
