Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen

The “Petit” as it is affectionately known in the United States, is a small, wiry-haired dog known for its happy, outgoing personality. Originating in 16th century France, this scent hound has long, droopy ears, a long, tapered tail and a wiry beard. Petit Bassets tend to be vocal but make great family companions. They are intelligent and very eager to please, and can do well in apartments as well as larger homes.
