Basset Hound Breeders

Basset Hound

This breed may descend from small Bloodhounds and although it originated in France, these dogs are very popular in Great Britain and in the United States. Often stubborn, but gentle and benign, the Basset was once a superb hunting dog. Their pendulous ears may have been useful for picking up scents particularly on damp mornings. The typical pet Basset is heavy, long and low. These dogs love kids and have an easy-care coat that needs little grooming. They weigh 40-60 lbs. and stand 13-15" at the shoulders.
