Beaudine got an  excellent and was fifth in the champion class, Brunette had a tough open class with as many as 17 ​​dogs put in fourth place with an excellent and Mystique was fifth with an excellent in the same class. Fantastic! Robuste looked a bit too young according to the judge and the judge gave a very good in the Youth class. But all in all we are very pleased with these results on our first "Speciale"!

We have had an incredibly fun time with all puppies. It was great to take care of these little darlings. Now they have all gone to a good home.

***
The pups were born on February 9, 2011. It was a quick delivery and Brunette got eleven puppies. Six females and five males. The pups are doing great and wonderful!  Brunette takes good care of these eleven small cuddly toys.

***
Brunettes belly grows and grows. She is grown very affectionate, sleeps a lot and is hungry for three (at least). If she gets the chance she will eat them unattended empty plates, she steals from the sink and messes in the trash.

***
On December 10, 2010 is Brunette (Par Xcellence du Greffier du Roi) sired by Poirot L'Honneur du Pied. Steven had a rough ride, rain, fog and snow on a long way in to Germany, but Poirot is worth it! Brunette thought it was great this knee deep snow.

***
The puppies have now been flown to their new homes. Two puppies, one male and one female remain with us.

***
The puppies are now four weeks old and doing very well. All eyes are open and they run around. They play with each other and the world around them is slowly discovered.They have even been outside for the first time and were thrilled with the autumn leaves on the ground and played and played.

***
On the 6th of September 2010 Mystique's puppies were born. A total of nine sweet small puppies!! Three girls and six boys.
Mystique acts like she never does anything else than mothering. It's all instinct! Very nice to see. Partly due to the contribution of daddy Penate they are all pretty dark puppies except for one white / orange brown one.

We were for the first time at the World Dog Show. This year held in Herning, Denmark. Beaudine did a fantastic job and finished second in the Open Class with an Excellent! The next two days we were with her at the Very Special Show and the Club Match both organized by the Bassetklubben Denmark. On the first day Beaudine took another Excellent in Open Class and was second again. Also she went along in the Breeders group of kennel Du Greffier Du Roi and we were first in the Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen. In the Best in Show breeders group we also were first!
The second day was very hot, the sun had finally found us. Beaudine was second again in the Open Class, but now with a Very Good. They were a great couple of  days.

***
Now that Beaudine is Dutch Champion, we continue with Mystique to see how far we can get. On June 19 she came into the Open Class at the International Dogshow Outdoor Uden. She received a Very Good and was third. Not bad for a starter. Her son Ami de la Forêt van de Viersenhoeve (Majoor) ran his rounds in the Junior Class Males. He got a Very Good and was first in his class!

We are very proud.

***

***
On April 24 on the International Dogshow in Lingen, Germany Beaudine did not only become BOB but then in the main ring she became second in the Breedgroup. We were so proud that we did not even know which dogs were first and third. Fortunately, the photos came later. What an achievement!

***
At the International Show in Zwolle our Beau Beau van de Viersenhoeve, Zorah, made her show debut. She got a Promising in the Baby class, the highest note. Her sister Beau Monde van de Viersenhoeve, Bibi Bloem, became Best Baby in the same class with a Promising. She did well in the afternoon for the Best Baby in Show competition but wasn't placed. Also our Beaudine did her first show since her litter. Since she wasn't at her best jet, she got a 1 Very Good.

***
All puppy's found good new homes!

***
The puppy's of Beaudine are leaving. It allways hurts a little when one of them leaves, but the nice pictures the new owners send us, and the kind emails and shortly also the messages in our guestbook comfort us. And at september 13 at the familyday of the Friends of the Basset Griffon Vendéen we hope to see them all again.

Sorry, all news below still has to be translated into english.


Op 13 juli kwam de dierenarts en werden alle pups ingeënt en nagekeken.
Gelukkig kregen ze allemaal een tien! (nou ja, een gezondheidsverklaring in hun paspoort)

***
Op 10 juli zijn Beaudines pups gechipt door de Raad van Beheer. Hun stamboomnamen beginnen allemaal met Beau, naar hun moeder Beaudine.
Het zijn geworden, Beau Fils, Beau Regard, Beau Beau, Beau Coup, Beau Jolais, Beau Geste, Beau Monde en Beau Yeux.

***
De pups van Beaudine worden met de dag stoerder, lopen al door het hoge gras en maken kennis met de andere honden in de roedel.
Ze eten al vlees, maar zijn ook nog dol op de melkbar van mamma.

***
Inmiddels hebben de pups van Mystique allemaal een nieuw baasje gevonden. Heel ontroerend om te zien hoe blij de nieuwe gezinnen met hun nieuwste gezinslid zijn. Zo welkom zijn ze, het nieuwe huis al voorzien van een mandje en speelgoed. Aan van alles gedacht voor de meestal lange rit naar huis. Echt heel fijn dat onze pups zo goed terecht komen.

***
Op 11 juni zijn de puppen gechipt door de Raad van Beheer. Ze hebben allemaal hun stamboomnamen gekregen. Het zijn allemaal Ami's en Amie's geworden. Kijk maar bij de foto's.

***
Op 27 mei zijn Beaudine's puppen geboren. 6 meisjes en 2 jongens. Heel bont gekleurd. Beaudine is zo voorzichtig. Heel aandoenlijk om te zien.
Ze zat al vier weken te "kwijlen" naast de werpkist van Mystique en nu mag ze zelf moederen.

***
Op 1 mei zagen we op de echo maar liefst 7 puppen zwemmen in Beaudine haar buik. Dat wordt dus druk straks!

***
Op 27 april zijn Mystique's puppen geboren! 5 meisjes en 4 jongens. En wat zijn ze mooi. We zijn er stil van. Zoooo schattig.
Mystique voedt en likt en wast of ze nooit anders gedaan heeft.

***
Op de Paasshow in Leeuwarden op 13 april heeft Beaudine 1 U gehaald en het Reserve CAC en het Reserve CACIB. En dat in haar toestand!

***
Op 30 maart is Beaudine gedekt door Joie de Vie. Vorig jaar is ze helaas leeg gebleven en nu proberen we het opnieuw. We duimen dat het lukt.

***
 
Ik ben er helemaal ondersteboven van.
Na de enorme teleurstelling van vorig jaar toen Beaudine niet drachtig bleek te zijn, kregen we vandaag super goed nieuws.
Mystique is drachtig!
De dierenarts telde op de echo zo al 8 kleine puppies.
Geweldig!
Nu volgen nog 5 lange weken wachten en dan ....... knuffeltijd!

***
Op 28 februari op de Martini Dogshow in Groningen is Beaudine BOB, of te wel Beste van het Ras, geworden. Nu heeft ze al 3,25 punt voor het Nederlands Kampioenschap!

***
Op 26 en 27 februari is Mystique gedekt door Nebus. Nu beginnen vier lange weken wachten tot we een echo kunnen maken om te zien of ze ook drachtig is.

***
Hoera, eindelijk, Mystique is loops. Al vanaf december zaten we er op te wachten. Ze zal ergens na de derde week van februari gedekt worden en hopelijk mooie en lieve puppies krijgen eind april.

***
In Rheinberg werd Beaudine eerste in de openklas met een uitmuntend en beste teef. Zo haalde ze haar eerste punt voor het Duitse Kampioenschap.

***
Op 7 februari op de Internationale Hondenshow in Eindhoven haalde Beaudine de eerste plaats in de openklas. Daarna werd ze tweede bij de teven en kreeg het RCAC en het volle CACIB.

***
Hoe kan het verkeren, op de Kerstshow in Wijchen kreeg Beaudine "maar" een ZG (zeer goed). Toch werd ze eerste in de openklas.

***
Op de Winner in Amsterdam zakte de euforie om de vorige resultaten in doordat Beaudine een ZG (zeer goed) kreeg. Weliswaar werd ze eerste in de openklas, maar het was toch een dompertje.

***
Op 23 november zijn we met Beaudine naar de eindejaarsshow geweest van onze hondenschool DTC in Schoonebeek. Ze behaalde het hoogste predicaat, Zeer Fraai. En heel leuk was dat Beaudine de derde plaats behaalde van alle showhonden en een mooie beker won.

***

Op de Internationale Hondenshow in Utrecht op 25 oktober deden Beaudine en Mystique het super. Beaudine werd eerste met een Uitmuntend in de Open klas en Mystique werd eerste in de Jonge Honden klas met een Zeer Goed. Daarna werd Beaudine nog tot Beste Teef van het ras gekozen. Daarmee verdiende ze haar tweede kampioenschappunt.

***
Na vier weken bleek tijdens de echo dat Beaudine niet drachtig is. We vinden het zo jammer, we hadden ons echt heel erg verheugd op Beaudines eerste nestje. Nu is het wachten tot Mystique loops wordt.

****

Beaudine is voor het eerst gedekt! Op 30 juli is zij gedekt door Mon Dieu Penate du Roi.
Ons eerste nestje GBGV's! Wij verheugen ons hier al enorm op.
De pups worden verwacht rond 1 oktober.
