Introduction
The Basset Fauve de Bretagne, is a small and coarse-coated dog that is quite swift despite their little legs! They almost look terrier-like, as many people mistakenly think the dog is of the terrier family, but they are, in fact, a hound. This French hound, from a long line of history, is a hunting dog that loves rabbits, just like the Basset Hound.
They have been around since the 1500’s and are directly related to the Griffons and Bassets. Another name for the Basset Fauve de Bretagne is the Fawn-Colored Brittany Basset. This breed is an avid hunter, but also does very well in the home and with a family. A Basset Fauve de Bretagne is very content to be hunting, but is just as content curled up on the couch with the family.

On July 21, 2017, the Belfast Telegraph printed an article about the Basset Fauve de Bretagne. The article was about Prince Charles and Camila celebrating her birthday. It discusses what they did on her birthday, and one interesting tidbit of information was that while they were walking in a small town, they spotted an owner with her Basset. Camila bent down to pet the dog and immediately knew the breed. Charles did, as well, and the owner was impressed that they both knew such a rare breed. The Basset's name was Alfie, and the owner's name was Graham Fletcher. Alfie definitely got the "seal of approval" from Camila, the Duchess of Cornwall. People may be wondering, especially the onlookers, if Charles will get Camila one for a late birthday gift! By looking at the dog, Alfie, in the image online, as cute as he is, it may not be difficult to decide!
