About The Breed

The Basset Hound is a calm, laid-back breed known for its distinctive droopy ears, long body, and soulful eyes. With an excellent sense of smell, Basset Hounds were originally bred for hunting, particularly tracking small game. Despite their hunting background, they are gentle and affectionate companions, making them great family pets. Basset Hounds have a relaxed and easygoing nature, but they can be a bit stubborn, so consistent training is important. Their low-to-the-ground stature and unique appearance make them easily recognizable, and their loving, loyal demeanor ensures they are cherished members of the family.
