I have a PBGV named Harry who is wonderful. He has been great with our three children who really enjoy his company and his personality. He does have issues with siezures which we keep controlled with meds, but everyone who sees him just immediately taken to him. He has been known to get a bit dirty and is too cute to get mad at when he gets into trouble.

Thanks, Wendy! Yes, now that you mention it, they are a bit smelly!

One other disadvantage is they are a bit smelly so plan on lots of bathing with a PBGV. Mine excelled in AKC tracking, Search and Rescue missions, agility and therapy dog visits. Trained with clicker and treats, they are smart, cooperative and love training.

Hi, we have two boys Herbie and Sprocket and they are fantastic dogs, so funny and loving, we had a little girl, Prim but lost her and miss her but the guys are just great. They do need exercise and when they get on a scent, hold on tight – we have two extended leads which helps and lets them have some space to root around – such happy characters, I would recommend them to anyone
Have fun with your dogs and i love the picture ….. now where’s that brush!

I am not a fan of the wire coats either, but these dogs are so happy, it’s hard not to like them.

I’ve not heard of this breed either. They are adorable though!! I love bassett’s personalities so I’m guessing these guys would be in the “love” category too!
