Description |
The Petit Bleu de Gascogne has a thick,
dense coat. The ears are low set, thicker and less curled than its cousin the
Grand Bleu de Gascogne. The long head is refined looking. The chest is deep
providing ample space for the large lungs. The forelegs are surprisingly strong
in relation to the rest of the body. The thighs are flat but have powerful
muscles. The feet are oval and fairly long with black pads and tan hair. |
|
Temperament |
The Petit Bleu de Gascogne has a superior
nose and is an excellent hound, which can follow the faintest of scents.
Resourceful and determined, this breed is usually not easy to obedience train.
It gets along extremely well with other dogs. It needs a firm, but calm, confident and consistent pack leader who provides the proper amount of mental and physical exercise and who sets the rules of the home and sticks to them. |

Exercise |
The Petit Bleu de Gascogne
needs to be taken on a
daily, brisk, long walk or
jog. While out on the walk the dog must be made to heel beside or behind the person holding the lead, as in a dog's mind the leader leads the way, and that leader needs to be the human. He
loves a good run and needs a lot of exercise. However, if it picks up an
interesting scent, you may find it difficult to get its attention. They have an
incredible level of stamina and can walk for hours on end. They would greatly
enjoy hiking with you, but keep in mind their urge to investigate any
interesting scent. If under- exercised, this breed
can become restless and destructive. |
