Basset Fauve de Bretagne

FCI 36 . Small-sized Hounds

The Basset Fauve de Bretagne descends in a direct line from the "Grand Fauve de Bretagne", ancient trail breed, today almost completely disappeared that was used for fox and wild boar hunting, in the most dense forest. His parent has retained the qualities of exceptional Hunter and his fogosidad to, often, It is braking with crosses with the Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen.

In the 16th century there were four varieties of large dogs in France, the difference between them was more than remarkable in relation to the color of the coat and texture. The four varieties were white (du role), Fawn of the (Bretagne), grey (St Louis du) and the black. All of today's varieties of French hunting dogs seem to have their origin in repeated crossbreeding and mutations of these four types..

Estos “Grand Fauve de Bretagne”, they were very big dogs, between 70 and 74 cm to the cross. They were known for their effectiveness in the early stages of a hunt.. his bravery, his thin nose, its resistance to cold and humidity and its impetus to hunt its prey, wild boar usually, made them ideal dogs for the thorny thickets of Northwest France. This large variety of Basset Fauve de Bretagne seems to have died out in France. The only representative of the Great "Grand Fauve de Bretagne", is the Fawn Brittany Griffon (48 – 56 cm.), very popular in France.

There is considerable doubt about how the reduction of the overall size of the race was reduced to half. One theory suggests that it was initiated by selection of smaller litter size specimens., another for the breeding of the smallest specimens for countless generations. In the 19th century there were numerous litters made up entirely of Basset Fauve de Bretagne.

In the Decade of 1970, as the Basset Fauve de Bretagne It became popular, French hunters decided to introduce new lines. It is generally believed that the Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen was used to improve their ability to, possibly, hunting and the Sausage dog to preserve the color of your hair.

The Basset Fauve de Bretagne was first registered with the Kennel Club in September of 1991.
