Basset Hound Italian wire-haired Pointing DogHappy Wonder kennel The name giver of Happy Wonder kennel is my spaniel Happy died almost at the age of 17. His name has its history but this site is not about him. He had a beautiful long life, although I feel the time we spent together is so little and not enough. I have never thought there will be a dog comparable to him.
I looked for a hilarious dog with floppy ears which is not a spaniel. This is the way how I found Grand Basset Griffon vendéen in 2009. This breed was totally unknown in Hungary and I was so glad to see a funny GBGV in a Chappi tv spot. After a year of mailing and waiting, Dodó – Keiko Danda Bohemia –arrived in 2010 autumn. It is so hilarious to watch how Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen puppies trip over their dragging ears. They don’t really know what to do with them. Of course as they are growing up they are more clever and clever and eventually the grown up GBDV are standing in front of us as if they are miracles, they are as playful as they were as puppies but they are more confident and can be pretty serious, enthusiastic and resolute if there is a task to do, love attending (dog) school and learning, love tracking, swimming, hiking, or just lying in the sun they are proud to be champions at exhibitions- in one word they are „happy wonders”.
The aim of establishing our kennel in Hungary is to experience GBGV as a dog partner. Furthermore our aim is to breed dogs that can represent this breed with dignity both in Hungary and in other parts of the world.
