Remembering Joan Urban

It is with great regret that we report the passing of Joan Urban of Corpus Christi, Texas on August 6, 2015 following complications from recent heart surgery.

Ms. Urban was a dedicated and successful breeder of Basset Hounds under the Fort Merrill prefix. Fort Merrill Basset Hounds topped breed entries at prestigious venues, including the National Specialty and Westminster Kennel Club.

She was also a respected judge of Best in Show, the Hound Group, and a variety of other breeds. Ms. Urban was a lifetime member of the Basset Hound Club of America and volunteered for the club in various capacities over the years.

The Canine Chronicle would like to express our sincere condolences to Joan’s family and friends. She will be missed.
