Griffon Bleu De Gascogne
A wiry-coated Gascon hound with the famous blue-mottled coat.
The Griffon Bleu de Gascogne is the rough-coated cousin of the Bleu de Gascogne hounds of south-west France. Its distinctive blue-grey mottled coat and shaggy eyebrows give it a rustic look, while its nose and stamina made it a valued pack hunter. Friendly and people-focused, it suits active homes that enjoy long walks and a vocal, characterful companion.
