Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen
Petit Basset Griffon Vendéens (25-40 pounds) are cheerful, independent, and hardy, great for active families. 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 1.5-2.5 cups daily of Hill’s Science Diet Adult Small & Mini Chicken Recipe, with 23% 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, PBGVs thrive with engagement, not for sedentary or urban-only homes.
