About the Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen

The Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen is a French scenthound. Somewhat active and never high-strung, yet GBGVs are busy dogs who don't tire easily.

First, let's deal with the name. Roughly translated, it means 'Large, low, shaggy dog of the Vendée' and is pronounced 'Grand-Bah-SAY Gree-FOHN VON-day-uhn.' Now, let's have a look at the dog: He's a sweet-faced, long-eared fellow in a shaggy coat whose mustache, beard, and profuse eyebrows suggest the look of a worldly but amiable Frenchman. Beneath the Grand's Old World charm is a rugged, sturdily-built bruiser who is deceptively quick and light-footed. The stamina and courage of these longer-than-tall hunters is the stuff of Gallic legend.
