Griffon Vendeen - Nivernais 

  History  

These Griffon Vendeen - Nivernais hounds have been bred in the highlands of Central France for many centuries. The farmers and shepherds used these rough-coated hound dogs to control wild boars and wolves. It was not until after the French Revolution that a restored interest for this type of dog appeared and the development of the Griffon Nivernais began. They are known as the top dog for hunting wild boar.
