Overview: | By crossing the Petit Bleu de Gascogne with bearded hounds, such as the Wirehaired Pointer, French hunters created the Petit Griffon de Gascogne in the 18th century as a rugged and hard working gundog for a variety of game, capable of whitstanding even the harshest of climates. Apart from coat type, this breed is physically very similar to its shorthaired cousins, but is reportedly much more aggressive and driven than other Gascony hounds. |
