DESCRIPTION
TEMPERAMENT
Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen puppies and dogs are affectionate, independent, and enthusiastic. They are outgoing and lively, and love to be active. Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen puppies and dogs are fun loving, not the smartest of dogs, but very eager to please. They get along with almost everyone, pets and children.
GROOMING
Rough, long and harsh to the touch, never wooly or silky; they have a thick undercoat. They have bushy eyebrows and a beard. Minimal weekly brushing or combing with a hard brush. Pluck ear canals.
HEALTH
PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy), juvenile cataracts, and patellar luxation. They are also prone to aseptic meningitis, epilepsy, heart murmurs, and hip dysplasia.
EXERCISE
Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen dogs need considerable amounts of exercise. A home with a fenced yard is best for the Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen. Hunting is instinctive and so is digging. Never let them loose or they will be gone. The best owner for this breed would be an active owner living in a rural or suburban home.
TRAINING
Although Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen puppies and dogs are naturally obedient, they need to be taught control and be made to under stand who is "alpha dog" in the home.
