Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen Hounds (PBGVs)

and

Bergers des Pyrénées (Pyrenean Shepherds)

Two of France's marvelous little working breeds -- the hunter and the herder.


Canada's longest standing breeder of Petits Bassets Griffons Vendéens, since 1985.   These marvelous little French rabbit hounds have a zealous and happy-go-lucky nature which makes them a constant source of amusement and a delight to own as a family pet, hunting companion and for the show ring. They vary in height from 15-17" tall at the shoulder and average 25-30 lbs.  First and foremost, my breeding program is dedicated to preserving and utilizing the inherent working qualities of the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen.  I enjoy many hours out in the fields hunting with our hounds and we invite you to join us if possible.  Combining these top winning and top working hounds for seven generations now we have successfully placed 3X Best in Specialty Show winners and top winning conformation hounds in Canada and in the U.S.A.   To find out more about our Petits Bassets Griffons Vendeens, view the site index below.
Canada's leading breeder of the Bergers des Pyrénées.  This breed first came to my attention in 1994 while attending a dog show in France.  I was completely enamored by these vivacious little sheep dogs, some as petite as 15" while others as tall as 19" their average weight is around 25 lbs.  Referred to in Canada as the Berger des Pyrénées (shepherd of the Pyrenees), this has been translated to Pyrenean Shepherd in the U.S. and Pyrenean Sheepdog in the U.K., often affectionately shortened to "Pyr Shep". These intelligent, dynamic and energetic little dogs have a strong character and are extremely devoted to their family. My Pyr Sheps have held the #1 standings in the conformation ring since 1996 with many Group placements and 4X Best in Specialty Show winners.  Our dogs have also held top standings in the herding arena in Canada with several "High in Trial" placements.  These agile little sheep dogs are valuable farm dogs as well as excelling in performance events around the world.  To find more about the Bergers des Pyrneees (Pyrenean Shepherds), view the site index below.

Susan and Ross welcome you and your family to visit our happy home and meet our happy dogs.
