Dog History

The Basset Fauve de Bretagne was developed in France from the surviving members of the now-extinct Grand Fauve de Bretagne, a considerably bigger breed. In early France, dogs of this newer strain were used as hunting dogs.

Following the French Revolution, commoners adopted this dog breed to assist them in hunting. They required a slower dog that could track and hunt animals while still moving at a speed that allowed people to keep up with them since they hunted on foot.

The Basset Fauve de Bretagne breed is a fantastic dog. Consider adopting one of these rare pups if you wish to bring one home.

Check your local shelters, seek for Basset Fauve de Bretagne rescues in your region, or look for breed-specific hound rescues, since these dog breeds are occasionally taken in and placed in loving homes.

 

Health and Care

Basset Fauve de Bretagne dogs are typically healthy, and the majority of them live to be old. While most are healthy, some may be prone to a few health concerns, which is why careful care and frequent veterinarian checks are so vital.

The following are some of the most prevalent health issues that Basset Fauve de Bretagnes face:

• progressive retinal atrophy (PRA)
• epilepsy
• cardiomyopathy
• skin allergies
• age-related thyroid issues

You should take your Basset Fauve de Bretagne to the vet on a regular basis, just like any other dog, to catch any health problems early. Your veterinarian can assist you in developing a care routine for your dog that will keep him healthy.

The Basset Fauve de Bretagne has a lot of energy, so they're unlikely to acquire weight unless they don't receive enough activity. Make sure your dog gets at least one decent half-hour to hour-long walk every day, with some energetic play sessions and shorter walks thrown in for good measure.

Check their ears for dirt and vermin on a regular basis, and clean them according to your veterinarian's instructions. Once or twice a month, trim your dog's nails before they become too long. They shouldn't be slamming into the ground. This is something that your groomer can assist you with.

Maintaining the dental health of your Basset Fauve de Bretagne will be your first focus when it comes to their care. Because little breeds are prone to dental problems, you should wash their teeth every day. Your veterinarian can show you how to properly brush your dog's teeth.

Dog Breed Care Tips and Important Instructions

The Basset Fauve de Bretagne, as a hunting dog, has quite high activity requirements. The quantity of mental stimulation this breed receives is just as vital as the amount of activity it receives. Because this breed is intelligent and trainable, it responds well to instruction. However, you must engage his head as well as his body to avoid the development of negative habits.

Because the Basset Fauve de Bretagne is a small-breed dog, it should be fed a small-breed dog food diet. Small-breed dogs have higher energy demands and faster metabolisms than large-breed dogs, thus their food should contain more fat (a highly concentrated source of energy). Make sure you eat a diet that includes animal proteins and is created from high-quality components.

Basset Fauve de Bretagne coats are gritty and wiry and virtually "wash-and-wear." Fawn, wheaten, and red wheaten are the predominant hues of the Basset Fauve de Bretagne.

Their fur is wiry, thick, and rough to touch. These puppies are not suitable for allergy sufferers. If you don't have the time, talent, or money to care for a high-maintenance dog, the Basset Fauve de Bretagne is an excellent alternative.

The Basset Fauve de Bretagne perform well in some colder locations because to their thick coats. If you reside in a hotter climate, be sure you trim their hair.

Feeding

A diet for the Basset Fauve de Bretagne should be designed for a little breed with a lot of energy. They, like many dog breeds, will acquire weight if they are not given enough activity, so keep to a regular feeding plan and don't leave food out during the day. Also, limit the number of snacks they receive.

The food requirements of the Basset Fauve de Bretagne will alter from puppyhood to adulthood, and will continue to evolve into their senior years, as they do with other dogs. Because there is just too much variance among individual dogs—including weight, energy, and health—to provide a particular prescription, you should seek your veterinarian for advice on your Basset Fauve de Bretagne's food.

Home Training Tips and General Information

You must keep a watch on your puppy at all times until he is trained. You should cage her if you are unable to do so. Create a routine for the puppy that will allow him to settle down fast. Hourly toilet breaks, food times, sleep times, strolls, play time, education, and so on should all be on the schedule. A dog with a full day has no time to become bored and misbehave.

Teach the dog to respect you. Basset Fauve De Bretagnes form packs and follow a leader naturally. When you establish your authority in no clear terms, teaching becomes simple since the puppy will always obey your commands and not rebel.

Only employ positive training methods. Screaming, whacking, or abusing your Basset Fauve De Bretagne is never a good idea. It's not only bad, but it can also lead to behavioural issues. Electric shocks, prong collars, sprays, and other similar methods can potentially damage the animal.

Demonstrate to the puppy that "nothing in life is free." This is a theory that is commonly regarded as a reliable approach of teaching. When you do this, your dog will learn that he must behave nicely in order to receive anything, such as affection, a walk, or a treat.

Explain the meaning of "No" from the beginning. Actions such as jumping, snarling, tug-of-war, howling, or fleeing open gates and openings should not be reinforced. When there is good behaviour, praise it; when there is terrible behaviour, ignore it or leave. The puppy will learn that if he misbehaves, he will lose his buddy.

To break a habit, observe the Basset Fauve De Bretagne in action and then startle him by shaking a jar of pebbles. Once you've done that, assist him in improving his behaviour by giving him a treat and praise right away. Basset Fauve De Bretagnes have no recollection of what happened previously, therefore chastising him after an incident is pointless.

Always refer to him by his first name. Never say "Bad TOM" or "No Tom," since this can cause mental confusion, and the Basset Fauve De Bretagne will assume you are calling his name for a bad reason. Hugs, stroking, strolls, treats, and other positive experiences must be associated with the pup's name. If this occurs, he will enthusiastically respond when you call his name.

Establish a short and sweet coaching regimen, such as 10 minutes three times a day. Long, repetitive lessons might bore the Basset Fauve De Bretagne, and they will lose interest in the learning session. Make lessons enjoyable by using trick training sessions to teach commands like as sit, down, and come.

Everything you can regarding cage training, leash walking, housebreaking, and food training should be studied. These are the fundamentals that every Basset Fauve De Bretagne puppy should know. Learn about the breed's characteristics and distinguishing characteristics. This will provide you with crucial knowledge on how to properly teach your dog.
