Publisher's Synopsis
The Briquet Griffon Vendeen dog (or Briquet Griffon Vendéen) is a breed of hunting dog. It is traditionally used for hunting, and it was breed to assist huntsmen with pursuing smaller game such as rabbits and hare. It is also known as Medium Vendéen Griffon.
The Briquet Griffon Vendeen dog breed was originated from the Vendée area in western France. It is directly descends from the Grand Griffon Vendéen, as breeders selectively chose to mate the smallest of the Grand Griffon Vendéen dogs to produce an entirely new French breed. It is quite possible that other hunting dogs were added to the mix, though records of this are lacking.
