The Grand Bleu de Gascogne is lean and has strong muscles that are quite noticeable in its physique. The long legs, drooping ears and sagging lips are distinct traits of this breed. The short, thick, dense coat is mottled black and white. This gives it a bluish look. Typically they can have black spots on the body but not always. Some tan markings might also be visible on the head and face.
The Grand Bleu de Gascogne is friendly, outgoing, and mild mannered. It is not at all timid or shy, but it is also not aggressive by any means. If this type of dog is used in a pack, it tends not to make a very good companion, but if it is used alone, it will be a loyal canine friend forever.
