#9. "The tail is medium in length, set high and carried like a saber well covered with hair."
#10. "The long, outer coat is harsh to the touch with a thick short undercoat. The dog has shaggy eyebrows, beard and mustache. The coat is white with any combination of lemon, orange, black, sable, tricolor or grizzle markings."
#11. "The Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen is sometimes called the "Little Griffon Vendeen Basset."
#12. "Cheerful, friendly, intelligent this little dog is comical to watch."

#19. "It also has a great desire to please."
#20. "They are good with children and are fairly friendly with strangers."
#21. "A bored or lonely PBGV will make his own 'entertainment'. Giving your dog daily long pack walks, proper human to canine communication, along with a variety of toys and things to chew on, a safe environment and eliminating the opportunity to be destructive will control this potential problem."
#22. "The use of a crate not only provides this safety, but it also becomes his own special place."
#23. "A PBGV who is provided with the proper amount of mental and physical exercise along with strong leadership from the humans will be less likely to get himself in trouble."
#24. "Height: 13-15 inches (34-38cm.)"
#25. "Weight: 31-40 pounds (14-18cm.)"
#26. "Will do okay in an apartment if sufficiently exercised. They are very active indoors and prefer cooler weather, but will do ok in warmer weather. This is one breed that should not be allowed to be off lead. The hunting instinct is too strong. All that is needed is one small scent and your hunter will be off on the chase. Having a secure fenced in yard is a very good idea. The PBGV like to dig and can be great escape artists. Watch for small holes and/or signs of interest along the fence line. He would as soon go under as he would to go over."
#27. "They need to be taken on a daily walk. While out on the walk the dog must be made to heel beside or behind the person holding the lead, as in a dog's mind the leader leads the way, and that leader needs to be the human. If under- exercised, this breed can become restless and destructive."
#28. "Life Expectancy: About 14 or more years."
#29. "Litter Size: 4 - 6 puppies ~ Average 5."
