The Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen (/pɛˌtiː bæˌseɪ ɡrɪˌfɒn vɑːndeɪˈɑːn/), or PBGV, is a breed of dog of the scent hound type, bred to trail hares in bramble-filled terrain of the Vendée district of France. The breed is known in the United States as 'Petit' or 'PBGV,' in England as 'Roughie,' and in Denmark as 'Griffon' or 'Petit'. The PBGV is one of six types of 'basset'-type breeds recognised by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI). Both males and females should be of similar size, range between 12.5 and 15.5 inches (32 to 40 cm) at the withers and between 25 and 40 pounds (15 to 20 kilograms). The dogs have a tousled appearance, with a harsh double coat that is both long and rough. The hair on the face and legs may be softer than body hair. The fur on the face resembles a beard and moustache. They usually have very long eyelashes. (Source: Wikipedia.org, CC BY-SA)
