START TO KNOW

Instantly recognizable due to its big, heavy body, short legs and long ears, the Basset Hound has proven itself to be a multi-purpose dog that excels in conformation, obedience, tracking, field trialing and pack hunting.

The breed is known for its strong hunting instinct and, if given the opportunity, will chase or follow a scent willingly. Because of its gentle, non-confrontational nature, the Basset Hound can be used for hunting in packs or alone. The Basset Hound can be any hound color, which includes combinations of black, tan, white, red and other colors.
