The Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen (PBGV)

Our love for the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen (PBGV) did start at the time the male PBGV by the name of “Marquis” came to live with us in 1990. His pedigree name “Queldring’s Grand Cru Guy”; old type within the breed at that time, heave body on very short legs, he always wanted to use his voice very very freely and had absolutely no patience what so ever, looked like a toy that came alive and we loved him !!!!! Of course there would come a second Petit...that was only a matter of time.....after all these dogs were pack dogs we were told, so you had to have more than one....:)))))))

A little female was born in the same kennel my male was from; her name “Queldring’s Inouie Indy” ……orange/white colour…….and she also moved to come live with us.
“ Indy” started my breeding for the Petit under the kennel name “Shamblewain’s”....the first litter was born in 1995 en the (for now) last litter in 2004. And for me the colour orange/white would become my favorite one.....
To make a long story short….a lot happened since then, I started showing the dogs, travelled everywhere for and with the Petit, saw a lot of PBGV’s in France at the breeder’s homes but also several times during my attending the French Nationals, I have imported and exported dogs, and yes I even judged in Sweden, had the privilege to breed some champions, met a lot of people and kept dear dear friends within the breed, and I did more......but we will “talk” about that on these pages of my website.

Under the button “Review” you can read some stories from time passed by and see some pictures as well of course.
Once, I fell in love with this breed, now it is in my heart for ever and I hope to pick up breeding again after a long break.....do not know when but if I do you will hear and read about it throug these pages.....: ))))

We wish you lots of fun.
