My husband and I have been breeding and exhibiting PBGVs since 1993 when we imported our first puppy. Our dogs are our pets and with us for life. We live by our kennel name slogan…”Breeding Love to Enrich our Lives…for health, type and temperament…and that JOIE DE VIE personality!” We live in South Beach ( Miami ) and the pups and dogs have great weather and a ‘hilly’ yard to exercise and play in.
We’ve been represented at two National specialties and the dogs made us very proud. In 2002, Orlando , Gabby, CH Joie de Vie’s Effervescence… won best puppy in sweepstakes at the Regional ‘and’ National!! One of the few that defeated the Best of Breed of all time among other top 10 dogs! In 2004, Chicago, our boy ‘Slash’…CH Joie de Vie’s Vous et nul Autre (You…and no other…our singleton puppy) won the 2nd Award of Merit and an invitation to Crufts, at the National under Judge Gunnar Nyman of Denmark. Slash had not been shown since finishing his Championship undefeated on the 2003 January circuit! We place our pups in loving homes as pets…however, the occasional puppy is also being shown toward their championship. We look for homes where they are members of the family for their lifetime…however, we gladly take back any puppy/dog during his/her lifetime when the need arises. Health clearances listed on www.Offa.org...Joie de Vie…Joy of Life…the most apropos description of this wonderful breed…they truly do enrich ones life!
