Collection: Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen

Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen owners know the bouncy, shaggy, irrepressibly happy little French scent hound that is impossible not to love. The PBGV — or Happy Dog, as it is sometimes called — was developed in the Vendée region of France to hunt rabbits over rough terrain, and it brings to modern life a relentless enthusiasm, a cheerful sociability, and the kind of personality that makes everyone in the room smile. PBGV people are devoted and delighted.

That is the exact spirit behind Purple Turtle Gifts — a family of eight specialty shops, each created to serve a passionate community with products that are personal, meaningful, and not something you would typically find at a generic retailer. Our Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen collection is one of these dedicated spaces, designed specifically for people who have made this breed a central part of their lives.

About Our Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen Collection

Our Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen collection features breed-specific graphic t-shirts and kitchen aprons celebrating the PBGV's shaggy coat, its bouncy French spirit, and the cheerful, sociable personality that has earned this little French hound the nickname Happy Dog.

Purple Turtle Gifts operates eight specialty shops under one roof, allowing us to serve each community — whether that is a specific dog breed, a holiday theme, or a lifestyle interest — with genuine focus and genuine care. Our Purple Turtle Gifts-branded products, including our graphic t-shirts, kitchen aprons, and Purple Turtle Stationery, are made to order right here in the USA. We also carry select products from trusted vendors, which means our full assortment is broader than what any single manufacturer could offer. Whatever you find in our collection, it has been chosen because it belongs here.

Why Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen Owners Love Shopping Here

PBGV owners are devoted to one of the most cheerful and entertaining breeds in the hound group — and they deserve gifts that reflect the Happy Dog's irrepressible personality. We carry breed-specific designs for PBGV fans who know just how special their little French hound is.

Personalization is a key part of our offering, and it is available on selected products we create in-house. Our Purple Turtle Gifts-branded items — including t-shirts, aprons, and stationery — are made by us, which allows us to provide customization options where applicable because we oversee the entire production process. Products supplied by our trusted vendor partners may not include personalization features, and availability can vary by item. We state this clearly so you can shop with confidence and know exactly what applies to each product.

We are also actively expanding our made-in-USA collection. In the coming months, we will be adding new in-house product categories such as mouse pads, coasters, signs, ornaments, and more — all produced by us, all eligible for personalization, and all designed to offer breed lovers a wider and more meaningful selection of high-quality products that are not commonly found elsewhere.
