DESCRIPTION
TEMPERAMENT
Generally good with children, the Briquet Griffon Vendeen breed is sure to warm any heart with its good-natured and courageous spirit. They are active, intense, alert, decisive and enthusiastic dogs who make reasonably good watchdogs. Some have been known to be a little snappy and many are difficult to train as they are naturally single-minded and fiercely independent. Keep in mind that these dogs also have a tendency to dig.
GROOMING
To prevent matting, grooming with a comb and brush is needed but otherwise, minimal care is required for this breed. Even for exhibition, the Briquet’s coat never needs to be trimmed. Additionally, bathing should only occur when necessary.
HEALTH
Since this is a rare breed, health concerns are minimal. There have been low incidences of patella luxation and distichiasis.
EXERCISE
Briquets need a considerable amount of exercise, so potential owners should be active and aware of this.
TRAINING
As a single minded and independent dog, Briquets present a challenge when it comes to training. They do not respond to any heavy handed or harsh training methods. Instead, this breed requires consistency with training that should be carried out firmly, fairly and always with patience.
