COUNTRY OF ORIGIN France.
MOST SUITED AS Hound and family pet.
SIZE
The shoulder-height is 34 - 40cm (131/2 - 15 1/2in).
COAT
The short-haired and very dense coat has a white ground speckled with black, and with black patches, or a large black area with tan markings.
CARE REQUIRED
These dogs do not require much grooming. Groom them occasionally with a rubber brush to remove loose hairs. The ears must be carefully looked after though. Check regularly that they are clean and keep the ear passages clean with a good quality proprietary ear cleaner. Keep the claws short by filing them.
CHARACTER
The Basset Bleu de Gascogne are friendly, sociable dogs with a sense of humour that are gentle natured, independent, and have a good nose. The Basset Bleu de Gascogne has a loud bark which is music to a huntsman's ears.This is rather less valued in a household pet, but fortunately it does not usually become a real problem. They welcome both welcome and unwelcome visitors.
TRAINING
This dog is born with somewhat of a mind of its own. That does not mean they cannot be trained. Provided training is not forced too quickly and you take its character into account, this French dog can become a fine companion in the house.
EXERCISE
Take this dog for regular long walks but beware: once they catch a hint of wild game, they will take off after it.
