The Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen (PBGV) has a moderate tolerance for temperature variations and can generally handle a range of temperatures from 10°C (50°F) to 30°C (86°F).

However, it's important to note that individual dogs may have different levels of comfort within this range, and certain factors such as coat thickness, age, and overall health can influence their ability to tolerate temperature extremes.

In colder temperatures, the PBGV's dense and rough double coat provides insulation and helps to keep them warm. However, it's still important to monitor them during chilly weather and provide additional protection if needed. This can include providing them with a warm shelter, layering them with appropriate dog clothing, and avoiding prolonged exposure to cold or wet conditions.

Because it may help retain heat, the PBGV's thick coat may be problematic in warmer climates. Overheating and heatstroke are serious problems, thus it's important to be careful. This involves making sure there is enough of cold water available, making sure there is shade, and not exercising too much when the weather is hot.

Excessive panting, drooling, or lethargy are symptoms of heat stress or discomfort, therefore it's crucial to know to seek veterinarian help if needed.
