It was April 14, 2007.  I was attending only my 2nd ever dog show in Harrisburg, Pa.  It was at that show that I fell in love with an adorable pup from the Hound Group – a Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen named “Fairchild” [Ch Celestial CJ’s Jolly Fairchild].  Fairchild was a superstar in the ring and went on to win Best in Show that day!  Jump ahead 5 years and say hello to Fairchild’s son “Wills” [GCH Celestial CJ’s All’s Well That Ends Well].  There is just something about the PBGV’s that I love!  They have a spring in their step, a happy go lucky attitude, and so much spunk!  Here are Wills and handler Greg Strong having a little chat at the Bald Eagle Kennel Club show in Bloomsburg, Pa. last weekend (above).  Below is an image of Greg and Fairchild from the show in April 2007 when I first “met” this breed!  It was love at first woof!
