The Petit Basset Griffon Vend�en is a breed of dog of the scent hound type, bred to trail hares in bramble filled terrain of the Vend�e district of France.

Like the other 3 Griffon Vend�en breeds: the Grand Griffon Vend�en, Briquet Griffon Vend�en, and the Grand Basset Griffon Vend�en; they are solid dogs that appear rough and unrefined yet casual. They have short legs, a sturdy bone structure, and a body that is only slightly longer than it is tall at the withers. The body length is not as extreme as that of a basset hound or dachshund.

PBGVs are extroverted, friendly, and independent hounds. Sometimes called the "happy breed," PBGVs have tirelessly wagging tails and expressive, intelligent eyes. PBGVs are typically active and lively. While good with children, other dogs and pets, they may be unsuitable for very young children because of their energy and tendency to play bite.
