Summary
About Borzoi

About Griffon Nivernais
The Griffon Nivernais is an ancient French, medium‑sized scenthound with a shaggy grey‑fawn coat and rustic look. Bred for boar and deer, it’s energetic outdoors yet calm and affectionate at home. Sociable with other dogs, it needs ample exercise, mental work and gentle, patient training.
