Welcome to my Overbecks Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen Website

Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen means small, low to the ground hound from the Vendee region of France and used for rabbiting. Their nickname is the happy breed and they are certainly that - always smiling and into mischief.

I have admired these little dogs for some years now and when the opportunity arose to have one I was delighted. My Petit Basset is called ‘Beri’ (who thinks she is a Rottweiler) was born on the 19th January 2005.
