About the Grand Basset Griffon Vandeen
Fast, well voiced, and enthusiastic on the hunt, Grand Basset Griffon Vendeens are brave dogs that love bramble and scrub. While they can be a little willful, they will always remain well behaved. Their master needs to take command.
Tenacious, brave and a little headstrong, they do need to be trained to follow commands from a very early age. They will not bear a grudge when reprimanded during training.
