About
The Grand Basset Griffon Vendeen is a French scent hound founded on the Grand Griffon, with selective breeding begun in the mid-19th century by Count d'Elva and the type fixed at around 43cm by Paul Dezamy for hare hunting. Still used with the gun today, it can hunt furred game from rabbit to wild boar, and a GBGV team won the 5th European Cup for hare hunting. The fastest, most tenacious and bravest of the basset hounds, it is a little stubborn, so early training is essential.
