The Petit Basset Griffon
Vendéen is a scent hound developed to hunt small game over the rough and difficult
terrain of the Vendéen region. Of the four rough-coated hound breeds from
Vendéen, France, the Petit Bassett Griffon Vendéen is the smallest. They are
bold and vivacious in character, compact, tough and robust in construction.
They have drop ears that are medium in length, and they have a short muzzle.
Although, their heads are twice as long as they are wide. Their bones are
light compared to other breeds, and the body is stocky. The tail is like a
saber in shape, and their faces hold a heavy mustache and eyebrows. They can
be black with tan markings, fawn with white markings, fawn with black markings,
or tricolor--all of these being with white markings. There are four closely
related breeds of this kind: the Grand Basset, Petit Basset, Grand, and Briquet,
all with the ending name of Griffon Vendéen. Petit Basset Griffon Vendéens
are scent hounds and can hunt small game such as rabbits and feathered game.
They are the smallest of the Vendéenbreeds, as well as the most popular.
They are lively, active, and inquisitive. PBGVs are friendly, eager to please
and energetic. They get along with almost anyone, with their outgoing, fun-loving
personality. Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen s are intelligent, but do not learn
quite as fast as most other breeds. They are a happy-go-lucky little dog that
enjoys its owner, but can be independent. The Petit Basset Griffon Vendéenis highly popular in its native France as a hunting dog of hare and rabbit,
and occasionally wild boar.
