The Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen, or PBGV, is a small, rough-coated French scenthound with a cheerful, outgoing personality. With their tousled coat, long ears, and perpetual grin, they're charming companions who love adventure. They're friendly, vocal, and always ready for fun.
Daily exercise and scent games keep them content—they love following their noses. Their rough coat requires regular brushing and occasional trimming. Training should be patient, as they're independent thinkers. For families seeking a happy, energetic hound with personality, the PBGV is delightful.
