PETIT BASSET GRIFFON VENDEEN
History - The PBGV, is affectionately known, is a comparative newcomer to the AKC world, but it is an ancient breed with roots in 16th century Europe. The long French name provides an accurate description of the breed: Petit (small) Basset (low) Griffon (rough-coated) Vendeen (its area of origin of France). This area, on the west coast of France, is filled with thick brambles, underbrush, and rocky terrain. Hunting in such terrain demanded a dog that had a coat that could withstand thorns and brambles, short legs that could enable it to wind its way through the under brush in pursuit of rabbits, but nimbleness that allowed it to run over rocks and logs without tiring. The AKC recognized the PBGV in 1990, and since then the PBGV has attracted many new admirers because of its merry disposition and tousled carefree appearance.
Temperament - Despite its appearance, the PBGV is not a Basset Hound in a wire coat, but is in many ways more terrier-like in temperament. It is a merry, inquisitive, tough, busy dog, always on the lookout for excitement and fun. It loves to sniff, explore, trail, and dig, a true hunter at heart. Amiable and playful, it is good with children, other dogs, and pets, and it is friendly toward strangers. It is stubborn and independent. It tends to dig and bark.
Upkeep - Does not like to lie around. It's exercise requirements can be fulfilled by a good walk on a leash or a romp in the yard. It can sleep outdoors in temperate climates, given adequate shelter, but it is happierst when dividing its time between hous and yard. Its coat needs brushed weekly.
Size - 35 pounds.
