PBGV Puppies or older PBGV's
|
Commonly known as The PBGV or “Happy Hound”. They are classed as small dogs and are part of the Hound family. They are small, low to the ground scent hounds originally bred to hunt small game such as rabbit and hare and more recently as companion dogs. The average lifespan is 9 – 15 years; they are quite hardy little dogs relatively free from hereditary and congenital problems however epilepsy is occurring in the breed and the Bassett Griffon Vendeen Club has an eye testing programme as there are occurances of Glaucoma. The PBGV is a strong deep chested dog and is approximately 50% longer than they are tall. Their coat is harsh on top whereas the undercoat is thick; this coat is weather resistant. The coat length is medium to long and requires a good weekly grooming. The shedding of hair is minimal compared to other breeds. The occasional assistance of a professional groomer will help to maintain the coat. A number of people who suffer mild allergic reactions to dog fur seem to have less of a problem with the Petit Basset coat. The Petit Basset is well known for the characteristic hair over the eyebrows, their beard and moustache and for being a quite vocal dog. The average height of both male and female is between 13’’ – 15’’.
The Petit Basset Griffon Vandeen comes in a range of colours :- white
with any combination of lemon, orange, tri colours or grizzle markings. |
