Breed history

The Basset Fauve de Bretagne is a charming and historic French hunting breed that traces its roots back several centuries to the Brittany region in northwest France. Originally bred as a short-legged scent hound, this breed was developed to track small game such as rabbits and hares through dense underbrush and rugged terrain. Known for its distinctive rough, wiry coat and striking reddish-tan color (fauve means “fawn” in French), the Basset Fauve de Bretagne combines stamina, agility, and a keen sense of smell. Though it was once a popular hunting companion, today the breed is also cherished as a lively and affectionate family pet, valued for its friendly temperament and adaptable nature.
