The ever-popular Basset Hound has strength and energy to compete with big canines despite his short legs and hefty bulk.
Nature
The kind and loving Basset Hound is calm around kids and gets along with other pets. Rabbits, birds, fox, and deer are just a few of the small to medium-sized prey that the devoted Basset is used to track down.
Despite his endearing traits, the Basset Hound can be challenging to train due to his independence and stubbornness. Early, consistent socialising and training can help overcome this challenge.
Trait
The distinctive features of Basset Hounds include their short legs, long, floppy ears, and soulful gaze.
The Basset moves with ease due to its longer torso and small legs, although it is not necessarily a speedy dog.
Life
12 to 13 years
Colour Collection
Black and white, black, brown, and white, black, white, and tan, brown, black, and white, lemon and white, mahogany and white, and red and white are just a few of the many hues that bassets may be.
Hair fall
Due to their modest shedding, Bassets benefit from weekly grooming to keep it under control.
Health
The Basset Hound is highly susceptible to obesity. Additionally, he is more susceptible to ear infections, dysplasia of the hip and elbow, bleeding disorders, glaucoma, hypothyroidism, and luxating patella.
To provide the healthiest Bassets possible, ethical breeders check their stock for these issues.
Breed History
The Basset Hound originated in Belgium and France. The breed is believed by friars to be a hybrid of earlier French breeds. Bassets were designed to be scenthounds that could guide hunters by foot to prey such as rabbit and deer. They were a well-liked breed among the French aristocracy because of their precision as scenthounds.
