For many years the PBGV had the same standard as the GBGV, only the height and crook were different.
Over time it was determined that PBGV was no longer a small Vendeen hound based simply on reduction of the leg length, but rather it was a small basset harmoniously reduced in ALL its proportions.

The perception of “natural, casual, tousled” will probably always be a matter of educated opinion.
Take a common sense approach as you assess the whole dog.
![Page 25: A Presentation of the Judges’ Education Committee](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816838550346895dddfe56/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Too much coat is a hindrance in the field and hides conformation in the show ring.
Too little coat isn’t protective.
Colored patches do not grow hair as profusely as white areas.
