- This is a video about the dog breed Grand Basset Griffon Vendeen, from the www.naturallyhappydogs.com website.
Vivian Phillips has been breeding Grand Basset Griffon Vendeen for over 20 years and has shown them both abroad and in this country. The Grand Basset is a dog which is comparatively large in body while being short on legs. The head, muzzle and tail are longer than on the petit version and they have excellent feet. This was essential for their original purpose as a hunting dog in the Vendee region of France. As a result, they are a very active dog, require quite a bit of exercise and have the stamina to keep going for a long time.
They have a wiry coat, which comes in a variety of colours, and need regular thorough grooming, paying particular attention to the ears. On the whole, they are a healthy dog although they are prone to ear problems. As with some other breeds, there have been some reported cases of epilepsy, but the GBGV club are doing everything they can to eradicate this. Grand Bassets are affectionate, intelligent and sociable. Like all hounds, they have a tendency towards selective deafness when they get the scent of a rabbit so will need a firm upbringing to ensure that they are an obedient dog...well, for 90% of the time anyway!

I watched this video in preparation for getting a Grand. Two years later I can say the description of their temperament is spot on. Thanks a lot for this excellent video!
We’re very pleased it was helpful :)
I love your "dog breed videos" it is a pity that there are only a few and you don´t do it anymore ... they were really very good!
I can't handle this cuteness ♥️😌 so adorable.
great dog breed, lovely expert lady!
She knows what she is doing.... 👍
I love it. Do u sell any petites? I have a petite basset myself and I would like for him to have a mate and some company.. Very affectionate loyal dogs.
If you could separate the Petites from the Grands from the same litter up until 1976, then why are they known for having different temperaments, different activity level, different thought process (ex. Bassets think then give chase, Petites jump at something without thinking) ?
Decades of refining the types as different breeds, i.e artificial selection (same way any dog breed is perfected)
Can anyone suggest a good PBGV breeder that ships to Ca.?
It sounds like a bred I would like to have to hunt with rabbit hunting it sounds like to me this dog was bred to hunt rabbits and they might be better and and a beagle do they Circle a rabbit real good please get back with me
Yes, they are very passionate about hunting rabbit, hare, deer, etc. Ours has not hunted very much, but one night she escaped out the door and spent two hours chasing a hare in a circle around the property, barking steadily and constantly staying close to the animal. She won't hunt moose, she just barks angrily at them as to say "go away, you're too big"! Keep in mind it is thought they are at their best when hunting in packs, though there are many examples of Grands that hunt solo.
Dogs that can't manage living in a household where people work shouldn't be bred in this day and age.
