The Petit Griffon Vendeen is a fairly easy dog to keep, with a long history and origins in France. An adult male stands about 38 cm at the shoulder and weighs about 18 kg.
A female is about 34 cm and 14 kg. Its size suits many homes.
Originally a scenthound, it has solid muscles, strong bones, and a powerful bite; short legs do not reduce its ability at all. It is a real worker.
Also loyal to its owner, with a warm, brave, and gentle nature, it makes a fine family pet. Good company for active owners.
