Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen FAQ
How much will my Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen puppy weigh as an adult?
Adult Petit Basset Griffon Vendéens typically weigh between 25 and 40 lb. The breed standard does not split this range by sex, so both males and females fall in the same 25-40 lb band.
At what age is a Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen fully grown?
Most reach adult weight between 12 and 14 months. They grow at a steady medium-breed pace, so a puppy that looks almost finished at a year still has a little filling out to do.
How accurate is a Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen puppy weight chart?
It is a helpful guide, but PBGVs are solid, sturdy dogs and food-motivated — a puppy that is allowed too many treats can run above the chart. Track your own puppy's trend over several weeks rather than comparing to a single week's number.
How much should a Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen puppy weigh at 12 weeks?
Check the 12-week row in the weight-by-age table above for the estimated range. If your puppy falls well outside that band, re-check the scale, the lb/kg setting, and the age entry first — a single off reading is more common than a truly unusual puppy.
Do male and female Petit Basset Griffon Vendéens grow differently?
The official adult range is the same for both sexes at 25-40 lb. Males often land toward the heavier end, but the overlap is wide enough that one chart serves both well.
