A Grand Griffon Vendéen is a breed of hunting
dog originating in
France. It was the first of the Vendée griffons to be bred from the Greffier whose lineage dates back to the 16th Century.
[1] There are also several other breeds of
Griffons from Vendée, all of them smaller: the
Briquet Griffon Vendéen, and the
Grand and
Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen. Related Griffon breeds include the
Griffon Fauve de Bretagne, the
Griffon Bleu de Gascogne and the
Griffon Nivernais.
