This highly versatile breed is used for hunting hare with the gun. Its keenness and fine nose also make it very well suited to tracking wild boar.
Griffon Bleu de Gascognes are fine-nosed, well-voiced dogs that show great diligence on the hunt, as well as keenness and enterprise. They are alert, perhaps even almost on edge, but nevertheless affectionate.

Griffon Bleu de Gascognes have Pyrenean origins going way back. The breed was created by crossing a medium-sized Bleu de Gascogne with a Griffon. After almost disappearing from official dog fancy, the breed is currently making a comeback. These hardy, sturdily built Griffons are very much the midpoint between the two breeds used to create them.
