Petit Bassets are enthusiastic little dogs that are a great deal of fun to have around. They're friendly with strangers, kids, and other pets. They like to jump, bark, and dig. Petit Basset Griffon Vendeens are hound dogs. Because they're great at sniffing and exploring, hounds were originally used to trail rabbits, foxes, and other small mammals. In general, most hounds are good-natured dogs that make loving companions if trained properly. Hounds are sometimes stubborn, though, so training may take a while. Most hounds need rigorous physical exercise, so daily walks and runs are a must. Never let a hound off a leash unless it's in an enclosed area, because it will take off if it picks up a scent. Hounds are barkers and howlers, and they're sometimes hard to housebreak. Origin: France Height: 13" - 15" Weight: 35 - 45 pounds Coat: Rough and scrappy-looking. Brush twice a week. Tail and ears hang down. Color: Mostly white with lemon-orange markings. |
