The coat is double with a thick, short undercoat and a hard, rough outercoat that is between one and two inches in length. Coat coloring includes white with shadings of orange and cream, and black and tan.
Average height is between thirteen and fifteen inches.
Exceedingly Happy, exceedingly annoying. The Petit is first and foremost a hound. They are vocal, untidy escape artists. On the plus side, my Petit is completely non-aggressive. She mothers puppies of all breeds, and willingly gives ground in any type of confrontation.
