Coton de Tulear vs Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen

Small, sturdy companion from Madagascar, the Coton de Tulear has a long, white, cotton‑soft coat needing regular grooming. Cheerful, sensitive and very people focused, it bonds closely, suits apartments, needs moderate exercise and kind training, and is generally long lived but prone to some joint, eye and skin issues.

Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen: small, sturdy French scent hound with a rough, tousled coat and shaggy eyebrows and beard. Cheerful, social and comical yet independent, vocal and strong‑willed. Needs plenty of exercise, patient positive training and secure fencing due to strong hunting drive.
