Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen
Small Size
Doesn't moult much
Not good for first time owners
PBGV are often described as the 'happy breed' due to their tirelessly wagging tails and extroverted, friendly natures.
FACT SHEET
Lovers of rustic, tousled, scruffy-looking dogs.
Anyone looking for an off-lead companion. Even the most obedient PBGV may give chase when a scent is picked up. They are natural athletes and are soon long gone.

Small
Small - but bigger than most cats
Medium (About an hour)
Doesn't have to be a solid hour, you can give them lots of short walks.
Spikey
If not hand stripped will go fluffy. If you don't pluck their fur in the old fashioned way they transform from spikey to soft.
Doesn't moult much
But all dogs shed dander so if you're allergic, make sure you'll be ok
