History of the breed

The Basset Fauve de Bretagne is a very old breed dog, whose presence is attested at least from the 16th century . Descendant of the Griffon Fauve de Bretagne, he was on the verge of extinction at the end of World War II, but a passionate breeder, Mr. Marcel Paumbrun, helped to save the breed, incorporating contributions from the Basset Vendéen and the Wire-haired dachshund.

Common and popular in Brittany in the 19th century , the Basset Fauve de Bretagne became known throughout France from the 1970s. The breed has several French cuts on rabbits to its credit. It is hardly represented outside of France. The breed was definitively recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) on October 30, 1963.
