About Us

Patti Whitlock, Breeder of Champion PBGVs!

 

Centerstage PBGV’s acquired its first PBGV in 2000 from Nick Frost. Her name was Centerstage Revue “Daphne” and, because of her, I fell in love with the breed. Since then I have enjoyed the breeding and showing of these incredible dogs . I have been fortunate to receive the mentoring of great breeders, as well as the support of friends and handlers of other breeds. That support, along with a bit of luck, has helped Centerstage PBGV’s produce multiple champions, a Best Puppy in Show, Best Veteran, Best Bred By, Best of Winners and now Best of Opposite at our PBGV National Specialty Show.
 

PBGVs are very versatile dogs. Our dogs live all over the US and many countries in the world. Some live in penthouses, some on boats, horse farms, and others get to fly around the country on their owners planes. They are up for whatever you have in mind. True pack dogs, they get along well with other dogs and make great companions. I have been doing this for so long, families are coming back for their 2nd and 3rd dogs. Many of our puppy buyers keep in touch and send photos and updates. It is a privilege to bring joy to homes of so many people.
 

I stand behind my dogs. You are welcome to contact me with any questions about your dog.

We do a limited number of breeding each year. They go 
fast. If you are interested in a puppy for your family please contact me and I will put you on my list.

About PBGVs

PBGV is an abreviation for Petit Bassett Griffon Vendeen. Known as the "Happy Hound," PBGVs are French hound-dogs. AKC recognition was granted in February 1991.

The Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen is the smallest of four scent hounds 
developed for hunting in the Vendee region of France. The standard was not written until the beginning of this century, but the breed can be traced back about 400 years. 

The PBGV structure is agile and nimble to accommodate hunting hare, rabbit and other small game in the thick cover of its native land. The PBGVs rough, thick coat, was promoted in the breed development to protect the dog as it hunted the tough undergrowth.
