Good with Children:
Yes
Height: 14 inches
Weight: 40-60 lbs.
Life Span: 10-12 yrs.
Breed Group: Scent Hounds |
From his sad, soulful expression to his exceptional
scenting ability, one would almost mistake the Basset Hound for a much
shorter version of the Bloodhound. The Basset Hound actually originated
in France - the word "Basset" means "low set" in French. It is thought
that the Basset Hound may be a descendant of the St. Hubert Hound, which
is now extinct. Basset Hounds are sporting dogs with a keen sense of
smell and the ability to cover great distances in a short time. They are
often used by sporting enthusiasts to trail hares, rabbits, deer and
other game. Working in packs, the Basset Hound's solid build and shorter
stature make it perfectly suited to this activity - especially in dense
brush. These traits make a securely fenced yard an absolute must for the
Basset owner, since this breeds' nose can invariably lead him into all
kinds of sticky situations! Bassets have a short coat, which can be a
variety of colors from black to tan and white, or any combination of
these colors. Grooming requirements are minimal - a good weekly brushing
with a bristle brush or mitt will keep the coat shiny and free of dead
hair. The Basset Hound's eyes and ears need a bit more attention, and
should be cleaned and checked regularly for debris which could cause
irritation or infection. Moderately active, Basset Hounds require a good
walk every day to keep them fit and happy. Basset Hounds are a good
choice for both city or country living, and are a great choice for
families with children, whether young or older.
