The Griffon Nivernais originated in France in the 1200's. This is an ancient breed that descended from the now extinct Chien Gris de St. Louis.

The Griffon Nivernais is a tall, light-framed dog, not unlike the Spinone and the Otterhound. It has a bushy, slightly unkempt appearance. The coat hair is long and hard, and usually gray or fawn in color.

They should be between 21-24 inches tall and weigh 50-55 pounds. Another name for the Griffon Nivernais is the Chien de Pays.
