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.
