The affix ‘Basler’ was originally jointly owned by Pat Barrett and Ruth Farrell. We have been involved with Fauves for over 10 years, but before that my mother Pat, had Pointers and Staffordshire Bull Terriers, although she was mainly concerned with breeding and showing Abyssinian cats in those days. Our first jointly owned show dog was a Lancashire Heeler with the grand name of ‘Tapatina Creamy Fudge’, known to us rather un grandly as Prune, she was very quickly followed by our first Fauve, Venquest Jonquille. Our affix was born out of these 2 breeds, the ‘Bas’ from Basset and the ‘ler’ from the Heeler (not the posh clothes company) but it is with Fauves we have stuck.
Pat works from home, running a book shop on the Internet, mainly collectable children’s books. She has 2 Fauves living with her in Abbots Bromley in Staffordshire, the now retired Venquest Jonquille and her daughter Dido, (Basler Princess Smartypants). She also had our first Basset Bleu de Gascogny until she passed away in 2004. She handed me the sole rights to the affix Basler in 2006.
I am a qualified veterinary nurse, and am married to James, who is a vet, we both work at different practices in Bedford. We live with 5 Fauves, 3 cats and 2 hens, so quite a mix. James and I own the affix, ‘Brezhonet’ which was newly acquired in Jan 2005 but we only bred one litter together as my mother then decided to retire so we reverted to Basler.
We do not have kennel facilities and our Fauves live in the home all the time as part of our family.
