Where Every Paw Feels at Home.
Also known as PBGV, Happy Breed
A scruffy, merry little hound who loves a good sniff
The PBGV was bred in France to hunt hare through thick scrub, and it is a compact, rough-coated hound with a big personality. It is friendly, independent and full of energy, with a loud voice and a nose that leads it astray.

It is known for its cheerful, outgoing nature and wagging, friendly approach to almost everyone it meets.
They have a loud, carrying voice and use it when excited or bored. Exercise, company and training help, but they stay vocal.
It is clever but independent and easily distracted by scent. Short, food-rewarded sessions and plenty of patience work best.
