Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen

Grand Basset Griffon Vendéens (40-45 pounds) are cheerful, independent, and hardy, ideal for active owners. They’re kid-friendly but may be too energetic for toddlers. Moderate exercise (1-2 hours daily, walks or scent work) suits their hunting instincts; their wiry coat needs weekly brushing.

Feed 2-3 cups daily of Merrick Classic Healthy Grains Adult, with 26% protein for their energy and joint health. Monitor portions to avoid obesity. Suited for both indoor and outdoor living with secure yards, they’re not for apartments due to barking.

Training curbs wandering. Perfect for outdoorsy owners, GBGVs thrive with engagement, not for sedentary or urban-only homes.
