Brief History
Formally known as the 'Grand Fauve de Bretagne', the breed dates back to the 13th Century and is now known as the Griffon Fauve de Bretagne or more commonly the Griffon Fauve.
The Griffon Fauve is one of the oldest of the French Hunting Hounds, widely used in the north of France until the 19th Century to hunt the wolf in packs. Like the Irish Wolfhound, who hunt in pairs, they suffered a decline in numbers as the wolf began to disappear.
In the late 1940's the breed, along with the derived breed, the Basset Fauve de Bretagne, saw a resurgence and is now well established amongst the best French hunting hounds.
Their temperament is second to none. Although when hunting they reveal themselves to be courageous, they like nothing better than being at their master's side showing complete loyalty and affection. Showing good nature with people and other dogs, they enjoy being sociable and part of a pack.
