HEAD
CRANIAL REGION: Skull: rather long with marked occipital protuberance. Seen from the front, the cranium has the form of a flattened arch and diminishes in width from the rear to the superciliary arches, which are not very prominent. Stop: A little more marked than with the griffon fauve de Bretagne.
FACIAL REGION: Nose: Black or dark brown Well-open nostrils.

Jaws/Teeth: The jaws and teeth are strong, meeting in a perfect and even scissors bite. The upper incisors cover the lower in close contact. The incisors are set square to the jaws. Absence of first premolars is not penalized. EYES : Neither bulging nor set too deeply in the orbits, dark brown in colour. The conjunctiva is not apparent. The expression is lively. EARS : Finely attached, in line with the eye, just reaching the end of the nose when drawn forward, ending in a point, turned inwards and covered by finer and shorter hair than on the rest of the body.
NECK: Rather short and well muscled.
BODY Back: Short for a basset and broad. Never swaybacked. Loin: Broad and muscular. Chest: Deep and broad. Ribs: Rather rounded. Abdomen: The underline rises only slightly towards the rear.
