The Griffon Fauve De Bretagne is classified by The Royal Kennel Club as a medium breed, typically weighing 16–18 kg as an adult.

What this means for your Griffon Fauve De Bretagne
The breed's pendulous ears mean a higher risk of ear infections given reduced airflow, so regular cleaning matters. Hip dysplasia is also worth screening for, though the breed is generally considered hardy given its working hound background.
As a scent-driven working breed, mental stimulation through tracking games or scent work can be a great outlet throughout your dog's life, including into the senior years.
When is a Griffon Fauve De Bretagne considered a senior?
Under The Royal Kennel Club's size-adjusted guidance, medium breeds like the Griffon Fauve De Bretagne are generally considered senior from around 7 dog years old.
