Briquet Griffon Vendéens are fast, fine-nosed dogs that are prepared to follow their mark into bramble bushes. They are very nimble in undulating terrain, tracking with their nose in the wind.
Dogs of this robust breed show a great deal of initiative and stamina. They must be able to pick up a cold trail, start game and drive. These are enthusiastic hunters that need a firm hand.

This receptive and very determined medium-sized griffon is rather stocky and well proportioned. It is the only breed to have kept the “Briquet” name, which means medium-sized dog. The Count of Elva began a controlled breeding program before World War I to produce a smaller, improved version of the Grand Griffon Vendéen. The population was hit badly during both World Wars, but reappeared again in 1946 and today there is a large stock. In 1995, a team of Briquets won the French cup for roe deer hunting. Wild boar are also hunted.
