Basset Hound - Top 10 Facts

Got a beautiful eyed girl that I named Daisy after my beagle passed from cancer for Christmas and already she’s been amazing to have.

4. Mine was passed nearly 18 years ago.I still keeps the towel he used in the box put on my motorbike and in the summer time,it still smells.

Another obscure fact about these hounds is they were used on chain gangs in the south during the early part of the last century to track runaway prisoners because of they're tracking ability they won't give up till they catch it or die trying. But when they did catch a prisoner he would most likely kill them himself, cause they are so darn friendly they would walk right up to them and well; that was that. So the dog owners would raise German shepherds and Doberman pinchers with them so that when they caught up to the prisoner, well that was that.

My Tanner lived to be 16, and he weighed around 80lbs of skin and muscle through his youth and young adulthood.

Bassets are ASSETS Hands down the best friends ever

I don’t know much about a basset hound, soon, my parents are going to get me one

So love my hound. He's only one & is very very smart. He catches on so quick! Everyone seems to love him & he gets constant compliments on how cute he is.
As the saying goes; I wouldn't give him up for all the tea in China.

The world lazy dog

We got our first basset about three years ago. And oh my gosh, we didn’t know what we were getting ourselves into. Buford is awesome. We love him.

You forgot to mention one of the most important things to consider before getting a basset, especially if you you are getting a little older like I am. They are big dogs on short legs. Everything you do to or for them involves getting down on the ground or bending over to the ground. Frankly, my back can't take it anymore.

I had 4 rabbits. They would one in each corner and Droopy would never stop running. My bunnies exercised my dog

I was hoping you'd include "Columbo", with his aptly-named Dog.

Great dog I rescue theme in co springs and always have luv theme

Christmas tiiime is heeere. Basset puuupy eaaar.

This is truly precious!! We have our first Basset Hound, Mando. He just turned a year old. He is a total Mama Boy. He's stubborn, thick headed, a brat, and just perfect! He hasn't yet howled. When I am gone, my husband says he cries the entire time. He can be a little territorial with our other dogs when I'm around. I continue to use positive reinforcement to train him to not snip at the other dogs. He does like to play with certain squeaky toys. He'll entertain himself. After five minutes of playing, he'll plop down. He'll learn what he will be suit him. We trained him how to use the doggy stairs to get into bed. Any other commands, he'll look at us like we're crazy. Mando is a brat and a perfect definition of a Basset Hound.

basset hounds are the short kings of big dogs

#1 fact about basset hounds: best dog breed ever!

He is great but he gets in to stuff a lot but he is great!

My female Bassett Hound only loves her dad. No one else, there used to help her in her life to look out the window as she's to short and to rub her belly when she wants it done

I had lost mine

Had to put my basset hound down last winter his name was Hass. He was my best friend i miss him every day

My grandmother had a Basset named Cleo. She was such a sweet, gentle girl. She was so loving, so cute, and loved everyone, always in a good mood, and yes, VERY food motivated, lol. Some may call Bassets Hush Puppies, but I call them Cleos. Cleo died in 1987, and I still miss her, that's how wonderful she was.

I have a beautiful smart gem of a basset hound. She is the light of my life and I can't be without her by my side for very long.

Our lovable Fred came to us 2 years and 2 months ago, and I couldn’t imagine having a different or better dog!! He is happiest when he is laying on top of our feet and eating…. Eating anything and everything. We definitely have to watch his food intake or I believe he would never stop! LOL.

I thought you could leave a basset hound for up to 6 hours a day

My family and I grew up with Basset Hounds. By far the best family dog. Whoever said they’re not smart never spent a lot of time around them because they know what they want + hilariously mischievous too.

Now that a Bloodhound won the big show, Bassets should be far behind.

Our trainer gave us our money back. We worked with on our own and she was eventually great on the leash and all the other stuff (when she wanted to). Sweet, gentle dogs.

One of the most sweetest, lovable, caring dogs around, annoying at times, but very loyal and great guard dogs their bark is so loud sounds spooky at night, theyre fearless too

I own a beautiful full blooded basset hound her name is ginger and she's my profile pic!

You don't own a basset hound it owns YOU

"strength and stamina" I don't know about that!

I had a long-haired basset hound, which is very rare
