Does anyone have a bassett griffon vendeen? General Chat

I know this sounds a little bizarre, but my dream is to be a show handler, and last night I had a really vivid dream that I bought a little bassett griffon puppy. I think they are beautiful dogs, but I dont know much about them. Does anyone on here own one or have experience with them? Just for an insight really....

Thanks x

My friend breeds both the Grand and the Petits - they're lovely dogs

Don't own any but know them well, I like the grands.

I have a Grand. Fabulous breed!

are they of a quiet nature or are they bouncy? I have a collie so I guess anything quieter would be a blessing... xxx

I can only speak for the Grands but they are the sweetest dogs ever! I have two Collies also so I know what you mean

They are bouncy - very very bouncy in fact Typical scenthound temperament really. Definately 'fun' dogs. They're really quite bright and pick things up easily. You have to be careful excercising when young but once they're mature they can go anywhere and do anything you want really! The people in the breed at shows have been really nice too. Not many health problems in the breed and there's not much to their upkeep - just a strip out completely when their coats are changing and regular attention to coat and ears - just like any other breed really.

I'd definately have another one. My Husband has fallen in love with them. Mind you. he says anything other than a Pharaoh is an improvement

Were thiniking of getting a petite for me to show when and if we move as a second breed,. Ive started researching now for 5 years down the line

I, on the other hand, prefer them to enjoy their company and be a member of the family, not to show them anywhere.
