Basset Hound Breed Profile

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.
