Howling from the Brittany region on the northwestern coast of France, this handsome harsh-coated basset hound has new admirers fawning over him on both sides of the Atlantic. The Basset Fauve de Bretagne's claim to fame, indeed, is his fawn-colored coat, which is rough and rather short. In the personality department, this low-to-the-ground scenthound stands high above the crowd; he is full of character, amiable and sweet-natured. Hunters describe the breed as courageous and determined, thus requiring patient, consistent training. For the family or owner willing to provide proper training and stimulation, the Basset Fauve makes an excellent choice.
