A wiry fawn hunter from Brittany with boundless spirit
The Griffon Fauve de Bretagne is a hardy wolf-hunting hound from Brittany, later used on hare and boar. Bold, cheerful and tough, it thrives with an active family and lots of outdoor work, but its hunting drive makes secure handling essential.

Best-matched service
Yes, for an active family. It is affectionate, robust and good with children, though it needs a lot of exercise and outdoor time.
No, the wiry coat is low-maintenance. A weekly brush and occasional hand stripping are usually enough.
It is not ideal because of its energy and hunting instinct. A house with a secure garden and daily outdoor activity suits it much better.
