A Presentation of the Judges’ Education Committee Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen Club of America

The Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen – scent hound developed to hunt small game over rough and difficult terrain of the Vendéen region of France

What’s in a Name? “Petit Basset Griffon Vende ́ en” Petit- Small Basset- Low to ground Griffon- Coarse hair- strong coated Vende ́ en- A region in W. France (Breed’s Origin) Pronounced: “Puh-TEE….Bah-SAY…Gree-FOHN… VON-day-uhn”

The word ‘Basset’ means ‘low to ground’ in French and therein lies the similarity today ! Basset Hound and PBGV have little similarity

For many years the PBGV had the same standard as the GBGV, only the height and crook were different. Over time it was determined that PBGV was no longer a small Vendeen hound based simply on reduction of the leg length, but rather it was a small basset harmoniously reduced in ALL its proportions.

the PBGV is not considered achondroplastic Having been reduced in all his features,

Conformation

Reviewing the Standard developed to The PBGV is a scent hound developed to hunt small game over rough and difficult terrain. He is bold and vivacious in character; compact, tough and robust in construction. He has an alert outlook, lively bearing

; his proudly carried head, displaying definitive long eyebrows, beard, and moustache; his strong tapered tail carried like the blade of a sabre, alert and in readiness. The most distinguishing characteristics of this bold hunter are his rough, unrefined outline; his proudly carried head, displaying definitive long eyebrows, beard, and moustache; his strong tapered tail carried like the blade of a sabre, alert and in readiness. Reviewing the Standard

The natural, casual and tousled appearance of the breed is vitally important.

The most distinguishing characteristics of this bold hunter are: Rough, unrefined outline Proudly carried head, long eyebrows, beard, and moustache Strong, tapered tail carried like a sabre, alert and readiness Alert outlook, lively bearing and good voice, freely and purposefully used

Overall Outline For correct balance, move front left leg back under withers

Compact and Casual

Casual Casual Note how hair length, and handler’s stack affect perception of angulation

Casual

Head & Expression Lovely Expression Created By: Dark oval eye Oval skull Low set ear; Long eyebrows, moustache and beard Black nose & muzzle Length:width is 2:1

Head Muzzle shorter than distance from stop to occiput Notice the little fan going up the muzzle to eyes

Head carriage when moving. Note head in motion - head up but out and tail about two o’clock

Neck, Topline, Body Neck long and strong Flows smoothly into shoulders Topline - back is visibly level from withers to croup Rise over loin felt rather than seen Tail medium length, carried like blade of a sabre, at about 2 o’clock

Overly long in body for ideal PBGV type More compact

Deep Chest & Prominent Sternum

Coat Overall appearance, casual and tousled Rough, long without exaggeration Harsh to the touch: “goat-like” Thick, short undercoat

Coat Never silky or wooly Eyes surmounted by long eyebrows, standing forward, not obscuring eyes Lips covered by long hair forming moustache and beard

The perception of “natural, casual, tousled” will probably always be a matter of educated opinion. Take a common sense approach as you assess the whole dog.

Too much coat is a hindrance in the field and hides conformation in the show ring. Too little coat isn’t protective. Colored patches do not grow hair as profusely as white areas. Incorrect Coats

Color White with any combination of White with any combination of Lemon, Orange, Black, Sable, Lemon, Orange, Black, Sable, Tricolor or Grizzle markings Tricolor or Grizzle markings Provides easy visibility in the field Provides easy visibility in the field

Balanced Side Gait Free at all paces, with great drive. Front action straight and reaching well forward. Hocks neither turning in nor out.
