History
: This little basset has the same qualities as the breed from which it is derived: the griffon fauve de Bretagne. Very popular in its region of origin in the XIX century, it earned a national reputation in the course of the last 30 years of the XX century.
Its exceptional aptitude for hunting has allowed it to win the French Cup hunting trophy on rabbit a number of times and it has become very popular.
Care
Keep on a leash as they are likely to dash off after a scent. A fenced yard.
Training
With a gentle, but consistent training performed with patience, the required results are achievable. It must be taught since an early age to respond to calls in order to avoid the walkout by itself.
Coat & grooming
The fur of this dog needs regular brushing and trimming about two times a year.
