Summary
About Basset Artésien Normand
Medium French scent hound with short legs, long sturdy body and gentle, noble expression. Affectionate, calm at home and sociable with dogs, but driven by scent outdoors. Needs moderate exercise, positive training, secure fencing and regular care for ears, weight, back and joints.
About German Spaniel (Wachtelhund)
Medium, robust German hunting spaniel built for dense cover, with a thick, weather‑resistant coat in brown or brown-white. Very loyal, often one-person focused yet family friendly. Highly energetic, driven working gundog that needs intensive exercise and meaningful tasks; still uncommon outside Germany.
