The Petit Bleu de Gascogne is believed to have descended from the scenting hounds of the Phoenician and Gaul hound trade and the Grand Bleu de Gascogne. They were mostly used to hunt hare near the southwestern coast of France, where they were developed. The Petit Bleu de Gascogne has an even temperament and is sociable with other breeds of dogs as well.
Also called Small Blue Gascony Hound.
