Overview |
---|
The Briquet Griffon Vendéen has a short head, low-set ears and a bushy double coat. It comes in solid or mixed colors, fawn, light brown, white and orange, white and gray and even tri-colored. They stand from 20 - 22 inches at the withers. They weigh from 48 to 53 lbs. The Briquet is a passionate hunter with stamina and fortitude. It should be able to pick up a cold trail as well as a hot one. Like its close relations the other vendeen hounds, the Briquet relishes its time outdoors with its family. While they are not high-strung, they are lively and enthusiastic dogs. Bred to work in packs as well as on their own, they get along well with other dogs and are not overly possessive about anything. They are fine companion for children. Griffons do not particularly take to being told what to do. They do not mind being cajoled, bribed, or played with- and if these things lead them to do something their owner likes, then everyone is happy. |
History |
Briquet means “medium sized dog” in French, and this is the only breed to retain that name. The Briquet Griffon Vendeen was bred down in size from the Grand Griffon Vendeen, beginning before the First World War. They are used as pack animals on roe deer, wild boar and also on small game. The Briquet Griffon Vendeen was recognized by the United Kennel Club January 1, 1996. |
