BGV Profiles continued (page 2) We had a huge response to our request for your BGV profiles! So many of you sent in fact files of your beloved hounds that this would have taken up an entire publication in itself, so the editors of The Voice have suggested that we run this feature online. Thank you to everybody who has contributed so far, and if you would like your BGV to feature here, please send it in to Emma Moore at emmamoore@rrjem.com
