Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen
These short, happy hounds are good-natured and extroverted. The Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen is a French breed originally utilized in hunting hares. Their rough coat lets them run through underbrush and other harsh conditions, while also conferring a characteristic — and cute — beard and mustache.
