Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen
The PBGV is a happy-go-lucky dog that loves to be kept active. They can be stubborn, independent and bold, but they are always willing to please. They are not ideally suited to living in the city; the country life is for them. They must be taught who the top dog is in the family. They need a secure yard because they will take off if they get the scent of small game. The PBGV is not a breed for the faint hearted; owners will need to exhibit patience and tolerance.

Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen
The Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen can be traced back to the 16th century. They originate from Vendee in the west countryside of France. There are two varieties of the basset type of Griffon Vendeen: the Grand and the Petit. These two originally occurred in the same litters, and it wasn't until the 1970’s that the cross-breeding of these two varieties was forbidden.
