The Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen is the newest addition to our menagerie. WESKYUWIN is a small kennel on Lulu Island in British Columbia.

BEFORE YOU BUY
Education lays the best foundation for dog ownership - learn all you can BEFORE you buy. Seek out breed mentors, do extensive book research, learn the breed Standard, gain practical experience (watch conformation or obedience shows), and join a local or National breed Club to open personal lines of communication with other owners. A dog should only be considered after a careful analysis of your own lifestyle and whether the unique characteristics of the breed fits your needs. Keep in mind that these dogs have a life-span of 10 or more years and need proper care for all of it's lifetime. Be honest with yourself as to the dog's suitability to your home and family. Talk to, write, or visit as many breeders, or owners, as possible for first hand experiences in owning these breeds. Prepare a list of questions to ask the breeder and be prepared to answer some of their own. Buy a purebred dog from a CANADIAN KENNEL CLUB registered breeder who is also a member of a recognized breed Club. Choosing a responsible, caring breeder will ensure that your new dog comes from a planned breeding program that is designed to produce a family dog with good long-term health, sound structure, and stable temperaments. Establish a comfortable rapport with your breeder prior to the arrival of your dog. The breeder wants their dog to be placed in the best home possible and wants to match the right dog to you. See our links for further resources and articles on these breeds.
CLUB RESOURCES
Clubs are an excellent source of invaluable breed information and support networks. Get involved! Clubs provide their members with social activities that you can participate in with your dog; newsletters full of educational health and training tips; personal assistance and advice on showing, grooming, behavioural problems, and the like.
CLUB AFFILIATIONS
My own Club affiliations are many. I am an active member in both the GREAT PYRENEES and PETIT BASSET GRIFFON VENDEEN CLUBS of AMERICA and serve as a Director and Archivist for the PETIT BASSET GRIFFON VENDEEN FANCIERS of CANADA. I am also a founding member of a soon-to-be-announced Great Pyrenees Emergency Medical Treatment Fund and current Rescue Co-ordinator for the PACIFIC RIM GREAT PYRENEES project. And, I am a 20+ year member of the most important club of all the CANADIAN KENNEL CLUB (CKC) our registering body. (not to be confused with the American version of the CKC, the Continental Kennel Club)
Drop us a line if you are considering adding a companion to your home or if you just want to "talk dog". We'd love to hear from you!
