Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen (Comprehensive Owners Guide) (Comprehensive Owners Guide)

By Jeffrey G. Pepper

Book Overview

The Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, or PBGV as the breed is usually called, is an ancient wirehaired basset breed of France that continues to gain popularity in the US and around the world. This beguiling hound is aptly called the "Happy Breed" due to his sunny disposition and his ever-wagging tail, sure to cheer up his owners even on their bluest days. Breeders prize the PBGV's tousled appearance, robust construction and his lively bearing. He is not only a home companion with class and style, he is also an active weekend sports dog, a bold hunter, a naturally attractive show dog and a talented performance dog.

Customer Reviews

Wonderful Book

Although I received my dog two years ago, I enjoyed reading and learning about his breed's history. This book contains not only history and breed specific health concerns but also puppy care and training. A basic dog care book from puppy to senior with wonderful photographs.

Reader-Friendly Book

This is a succinct yet comprehensive guide for a current or prospective PBGV owner. Colorful, easy to read, and hitting all the basics, it's an ideal guide for someone trying to get an overview of the breed. Very "reader-friendly".
