Basset Fauve De Bretagne Information
After the French Revolution, hunting became a right for all citizens. At that time, most ordinary people couldn't afford to keep a pack of large hunting dogs and horses. The big hounds were too fast to hunt with on foot, so this led to research for a smaller, slower dog that would have a great sense of smell and the pursuit ability of larger hounds.
The Basset Fauve de Bretagne first appeared in France during the 1800's and was originally used for hunting small game. Not much is known about the breeds ancestry though it was thought to be a cross between the Griffon Fauve de Bretagne and the Brittany Basset.
Since they're hunting dogs, they have energy to burn and will need a great deal of space to roam and explore. They need an owner who is prepared to give the dog routine long walks.
These are fairly small dogs, standing at 12.5 to 15 inches tall. Their coat is very harsh and flat and can be fawn or red-wheaten colored.
