Are You Ready for the GBGV? AKC’s New Hound Dog Is Grand in Many Respects?
How do you feel about a grand adventure, with a bit of challenge and surprise tossed in?
If this appeals to you, the Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen may satisfy that urge.
With fewer than 400 in the United States, the rough-coated scenthound, a native of France, is one of two new breeds the American Kennel Club (AKC) is introducing into companion events competition this month, including into the Hound Group for conformation.

Nederlandse Kooikerhondje: It’s Tongue-Twisting to Pronounce But Will Make a Big Statement?
OK, try to pronounce it. I dare you: Nederlandse Kooikerhondje.
But better get used to it because it’s now a member of the American Kennel Club’s companion events family. Which means, you’ll be seeing plenty more of these orange-red, parti-colored characters in the breed ring, Sporting Group, and Best in Show rings, as well as participating in other dog sports, going forward.
And if you’re still stumbling over the pronunciation, those around these small spaniel-type dogs of Dutch ancestry simply refer to them as Kooikers (koy-kers). If you want to give the full name a try, it’s “Coy-ker-hond-tsje.”
