    Why Brush or Groom Your Grand Basset Griffon Vendeen Dog?

    Grooming and combing your dog's hair coat is an essential element of general pet care. Brushing really helps to keep your Grand Basset Griffon Vendeen dog's coat in good condition by removing loose hair and avoiding hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also assists to spread healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, ensuring a gleaming coat and helping dirt to slide off the hair. This can also help to lessen the need to bath and therefore decrease the occurrence of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Grand Basset Griffon Vendeen dog are activities that help to strengthen the good relationship bond between your dog and you. Brushing should be a pleasurable and comfy experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Grand Basset Griffon Vendeen

    How often to brush and groom your dog will rely on each individual dog. Dogs tend to differ in their need for brushing because of their coat type and length and also depending on their more recent activities.

    Dogs with short coats normally require much less brushing and grooming compared to dogs with medium to long haired coats as these longer coats can get tangles, mats and debris trapped in them more easily.

    Some very short-haired pet dogs may not need standard 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may rather like to try a soft grooming glove to carefully remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Canines should be brushed 'as needed'. Owners should observe the condition of their dog's coat, looking for any tangles/mats or dullness which suggests they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a couple of minutes to several hours a week depending on your type of dog.

Grand Basset Griffon Vendeen Information

Grand Basset Griffon Vendéens a long-backed, short legged hunting breed of dog of the hound type, originating in the Vendée region of France. They are still used today to hunt boar, deer, and to track rabbit and hare, but are more commonly kept as a domestic pet.

This is apparently the only completed health survey (as of July 16, 2007) that might include Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen, but it is unclear what proportion of dogs in the survey were Grand Basset Griffon Vendéens instead of the more common Petit.
