Understanding the breed's base is key 👇

When considering life with a petit basset griffon vendéen, it’s essential to understand the unique characteristics that define this breed.

Understanding the breed's base will help you set realistic expectations and training goals. Each dog’s temperament is shaped by the breed’s original purpose. For a well-bred petit basset, that means originally being an independent hunter, capable of making decisions away from humans while working in a pack.

This base is very different from, for example, spaniel breeds, which were bred to work closely with humans toward specific tasks. This independent nature doesn’t mean petit bassets can’t reach the same training goals as other breeds, but the journey will be different. It requires patience, creativity, and a lot of positive reinforcement to work with their natural instincts rather than against them. 🐾

If you’re considering a petit basset, take the time to think about how their natural traits will fit into your life. I love that the breed is active, outgoing and pretty easily motivated with a coat that, when properly maintained, doesn’t shed around the house. ✅

(out of CIE Ch. Taglines Double the Fun With Soletrader and CIE Ch. After Me Busy Being Beautiful)

She received a beautiful critique by breed judge Ricky Lochs-Romain (below), and the group was judged by George Schogol.

"Typical 100% petit. Every part is small and fine in a correct way. Typical head. Nice short legs. Beautiful tail. Normal coat. Temperament free and happy. Moving with smooth harmony. Typical toughness."

She repeated what her granddad Ricky Martin did, winning that first group win at the young age of 22 months.

I own Enia together with two amazing ladies, .mari and .
