Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen - Top 10 Facts

[@fixedroofcoupe]

That’s my dog Ralph biting the chopper at 0:24!

Funny, mine is absolutely silent! Always been quiet even as a pup and barks only when hearing the doorbell

I had a pbgv for 15 years. He was the best dog I ever had.😢

[@halladall1]

I have a 14 year old one. He doesn't howl much but boy does he bark loud.

I have one that's mixed with Border Collie. I grew up with a Border Collie, and the one I have now is definitely more a Petit Basset than Border Collie. He's very much like a forever puppy, despite being like 8 now. He's so, so happy all the time, no matter what. You accidentally drop a ball on the floor and he will bounce towards it and think you're playing, while wagging his tail so hard he knocks stuff down. But he is also very mischievous, and will always test the boundaries. He needs to smell everything. He needs to taste everything. Paper? Delicious. Rocks? Yum. You dropped a LEAF? It's his lucky day. Unfortunately he can't be off leash, because once he finds something he's interested in, he will run towards it, and he will not care about any delicious juicy meaty treat I might have in my hand. His sense of adventure is very strong! I wonder if he'll act like an adult dog once he reaches his senior years... Probably not, lol.

One thing is howling, but do they bark a lot?

[@welcome2106]

I have a 2 yr old one and he does not bark a lot, only when something is happening like someone knocking on your door or something when they hunt ofc.

One of mine barks at the neighbors whenever they cross in front without her permission. And they never get permission. 😊. The other doesn’t bark at the neighbors at all.

We used to have one of these, my father used it to hunt deer

How wilful, charming, and curious is your PBGV? Do they always need you to keep them occupied? Let us know in the comments!

[@RyanMinardovic]

These are VERY closely related to Dachshunds. They even look like Wirehaired Dachshunds. Interesting...

[@jeffhaman9010]

That's funny. I was just led to this video today, because yesterday we realized that our Delilah, who we thought was a dachshund/scottish terrier/schnauzer mix, was more likely a PBVG/schnuazer mix. She is definitely always happy:) along with most of the other characteristics described in the video.

[@ivanastein2671]

The are. NOT closely related to Dacshunds.

[@RyanMinardovic]

@@ivanastein2671 yes, they are. Genetic research was done and they are scent hounds as well, btw. As are Otter Hounds, Bassetts, Norman Bassets, etc. They are ALL closely related.

[@melo7591]

Related to the basset hound ??

[@bobcohen4008]

Only in the middle name, which both breeds share.

[@ivanastein2671]

To the French bassets, the English bassat known as Basset is a .ix of whatever

[@Khabirov88]

Mine's name is kotton😊
