![]() Aggie d.o.b. 9/1/1996 Aggie, my first
PBGV...and the
beginning of this amazing journey..I have owned dogs all of my life,
but Aggie has taken me down a path like no other...She was not my first
hound having owned bloodhounds previously. Aggie though has taught me
the true meaning of stubborn and independent..She is also one of my
most endearing companions...Unlike some of my others, Aggie is a hit
and run dog...rarely desirous of being on your lap...very satisfied to
be in her own chair but in sight. She had to learn that a senior
citizen yorkie was to be her boss early on. That was amazing to watch
as Aggie never defers to anything PERIOD, but she did to this six lb
bundle of energy Satin. Satin was originally my mother's dog who came
to live with me upon her death. Satin died at age twenty having lived
her last four years with diabetes and subsequent blindness...In that
period, I watched with love and joy the bond between these two
buddies..My pack had grown substantially durin g this period. Aggie
would watch over Satin making sure the roughhousing of the others did
not scare or hurt Satin. Aggie showed me the tremendous caretaking side
of a pbgv that many owners have seen for themselves... This
was never more evident to me than in the weeks following
Satin's death..Aggie was inconsolable as was I...She searched
everywhere for her buddy and at night would lay aside me....not budging
except to rest her head on me as if to let me knew that we both had
suffered a great loss...
Aggie's
favorite passtime is
swimming...It did not matter whether it was winter or summer...Aggie
would get into the pool, roll over on the first step til she was
soaking and then get out to zoon around the pool coming to the door
with rightious indignation wanting to come in....soaking wet. Aggie now
lives with a friend, Kathleen E. who has had to purchase a wading pool
to support Aggie's love for water...
Aggie also
began my show career.
As I worked to immerse myself in all things pbgv...aggie was my
learning partner...the Breed Standard, the dog showing community
etc.. It was with Aggie that I attended my first National Specialty in
Medford Oregon. To my utter delight and amazement, Aggie was awarded
Reserve Winners Bitch. I was a very proud pbgv mom!! Aggie would go on
to do a substantial amount of winning in her show career taking BOS to
my first import Bijou at the Western Hound Specialty in Long Beach in
99. Bred to Bijou in 99, she produced Ch. Le Chasse's Kahlua and Cream.
KC took Winners Bitch at the 2000 National Speciallty and the next
year, Best of Opposite Sex at the National Specialty in New
Orleans. In 2006, it was a great honor to show Aggie as a veteran where
she took Best Veteran in National Sweepstakes to the glee of both
Kathleen and I.
