Isn't he GREAT!!! JB is from the Absinthe Basset Hounds "Ballet Danse" Litter born April 5th 2012. The parents of this litter are Huntmoor Atticus Finch (aka "Scout") x Absinthe Vivienne-Jolie (aka "Vivi) We hadn't planned on keeping a boy from this litter but around the age of 5 weeks, JB started to look ever so irresistible and promising that we simply had to hold him back so we could watch him grow up. He is about the funniest puppy one could have.... and at 4.5 months of age started to show real promise as a show puppy !
This is JB going Best of Breed (BOB) under respected Hound Expert Judge, Eugene Blake at theSangre de Cristo KC, Albuquerque, NM
This is JB going BOB at the Canada del Oro KC, Tucson, AZ. This was his last show before official retirement.
After Jb finished his Championship campaign, he went off to see "The Lady"...the talented and expert handler, Erica Cross to be Specialed. Below are JB's win photos from the Chester Valley KC. "GO TEAM JB!!! "
