Petit Basset Griffon Vendeens are light to moderate shedders and don’t need much grooming. Petit Basset Griffon Vendeens have a rough, wiry coat that sheds relatively little compared to some other breeds. Weekly brushing helps remove loose hairs, prevent matting, and reduce shedding around the home. Their coat is designed to be low-maintenance but still needs attention to keep it in good condition. The comb should run smoothly through the coat after you’ve brushed it.
