Basset Hound Puppies, Breeders, and Dog Breed Information

Breed: Basset Hound
Also Called: NULL
Height: The Basset Hound is about 13-15 inches tall.
Weight: The Basset Hound weighs between 40-60 lbs.
Colors: The Basset Hound can be any recognized hound color. The distribution of color and markings is of no importance.
General Appearance: The Basset Hound possesses in marked degree those characteristics which equip it admirably to follow a trail over and through difficult terrain. It is a short-legged dog, heavier in bone, size considered, than any other breed of dog, and while its movement is deliberate, it is in no sense clumsy. In temperament it is mild, never sharp or timid. It is capable of great endurance in the field and is extreme in its devotion.
Temperment: The Basset Hound is laid back, sociable, and affectionate. It is a great dog for children and adults of all ages.
Care: Minimal grooming of the Bassett Hound's coat is needed. They can be massaged or brushed gently to remove dead hairs. Carefully attention should be paid to their long ears.
Health Concerns: NULL
Training: Basset Hounds should be taught basic obedience during their early age as they can be self-willed and when their natural scenting ability tempt them, they will go off in hot pursuit.
Activity: When there is nothing better to do, Basset Hounds sleep, and are not destructive when left alone. They turn on to food, but not necessarily to exercise. It is important, however, to make sure that they get moderate exercise because this breed tends to be obese.
Life Span: The Basset Hound lives an average life of 10-12 years.
Litter Size: The Basset Hound has an average litter of 8-10 puppies.
Country of Origin: The Basset Hound originated in France.
Brief History: The Basset Hound originated in France, possibly as early as 1585. After the French Revolution, the breed again rose in popularity among the peasants. Before the Revolution, hunting hounds were used only by the nobility. The peasants could not hunt from horseback, only on foot, so they required a shorter-legged, slower hound. The Basset Hound was also ideal for hunting in heavy cover due to its shape and size. The breed found its way to England in the 1860's, the initial dogs were gifts from Comte de Tuornow to Lord Galway.
Registries: AKC, ANKC, CKC, FCI (Group 6), KC (GB), UKC
