Breed Spotlight: Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen
Get to know a dog breed at the AKC Museum of the Dog!
Each month we are highlighting one of the 200+ recognized breeds in the American Kennel Club. You’ll learn the history of the breed as well as key characteristics of their anatomy and coat that help them meet the standard. Activities include art-making, stories and books, a collectable breed fact sheet, and an opportunity to meet a live dog.
July’s Breed Spotlight: Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen
Saturday, July 11, 12-2pm
The Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen is a French scenthound. Somewhat active and never high-strung, yet GBGVs are busy dogs who don’t tire easily. First, let’s deal with the name. Roughly translated, it means ‘Large, low, shaggy dog of the Vendéen and is pronounced ‘Grand-Bah-SAY Gree-FOHN VON-day-uhn.’ Now, let’s have a look at the dog: He’s a sweet-faced, long-eared fellow in a shaggy coat whose mustache, beard, and profuse eyebrows suggest the look of a worldly but amiable Frenchman. Beneath the Grand’s Old World charm is a rugged, sturdily-built bruiser who is deceptively quick and light-footed. The stamina and courage of these longer-than-tall hunters is the stuff of Gallic legend.
This event is free for Members and included with General Admission. Please be sure to purchase your General Admission tickets for the date of the event.

Good Dogs of Gotham: The Working Dogs Who Built New York
New York City was built by millions of hands, but it was also shaped by thousands of paws.
In this special edition of NYC’s Secrets & Lies at the AKC Museum of the Dog, four master storytellers take the stage to share the history of the incredible working dogs who dedicated their lives to the five boroughs and celebrate the four-legged New Yorkers whose legacies still impact our city today.
But there’s a catch.
Your city knowledge—and your instincts—will be put to the test. In our signature game of historical detective work, three of these stories are true and one is a total lie. Can you tell the difference between a legendary hero and convincing fiction? If you can sniff out the lie, you’ll be entered into a drawing to win a great prize. And because dogs are always all about treats, a selection of snacks will be included with the price of your ticket.
Join us for an evening of NYC history, mystery, and the goodest boys and girls who graced our streets.
AKC MOD Members, sign in to purchase discounted tickets.
