The Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen is a small breed that features a shaggy coat. They will also have beards, and their undercoat is warm and plush.

This breed has a body with a length that is longer than its height. The tail should be carried upright, and the eyes should be dark and prominent. Despite their size, the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen should have well defined legs. Their ears will be shaped like ovals.

Temperament

This is a cheerful breed that is always roaming around looking for something. While they are intelligent, they are also independent. They enjoy receiving the attention of humans, and thrive on this interaction. If the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen feels like it is being neglected by its owner, it will let them know. These dogs are highly active, and must feel as if they are part of a pack. The Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen has a large number of skills, and some of these include digging, jumping over things, and escaping. While it will behave well with other dogs, it should be monitored when it is around pets that are not dogs.

Health Problems

For the most part, this is a healthy breed. They may develop eye problems, and glaucoma has been observed.  The Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen may also suffer from back problems or fever. This breed has a maximum life expectancy of 14 years.

Exercise

These dogs need medium levels of exercise. They can live in an apartment, but owners will need to make sure they are getting the exercise they need. While they can live outdoors in a wide variety of climates, they will function best in cool weather. When owners walk them, they should never be unleashed.  They have a powerful tendency to hunt, and will run off in the direction of the first interesting scent. If you keep them outside, it is important to make sure they’re placed in a secure area. These dogs are proficient in getting under fences, and may dig holes in an effort to accomplish this task.

Special Grooming Needs

These dogs have dense coats that are impressive to look at. Owners will want to make sure they are groomed on a weekly basis, and the dead hair should be taken off. The Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen should be bathed when they need it. The nails will also need to be trimmed.
