Grand Bleu De Gascognes

Grand Bleu De Gascognes

The Grand Bleu de Gascogne is a charming scenthound that was originally bred in France. They are an ancient breed and one that's always been highly prized for their hunting skills. They are considered to be real aristocrats because they are that much taller and distinguished looking than many other hounds. As such they have real presence wherever they go. The Grand Bleu de Gascogne always has a sad appearance about them but they are known to be kind placid gentle giants with the added bonus being they are always well-behaved around children.
