The Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen has an aristocratic-sounding name, but the dog is a hard-working one originally bred to run through brambles and underbush chasing scents. They are nimble, agile, and hardy, ready to work. Their tousled rough coat can come in several color combinations. They bark to alert.
