It has a long body, short legs and long, flappy years. Above all however, what makes the Basset Hound so unique are its gentle eyes and sad expression !
Originating from Great Britain, the Basset Hound is a breed of hunting dog used for its scenting ability and its sheer determination. This is a very hardy dog and consequently used for hunting in packs, during which its deep, throaty bark can be heard. It has a smooth shorthaired coat and is generally a mixture of three colours (black, white and brown). Its short tail, which is always cheerfully twitching, gives a true indication of its character which is actually very lively and cheerful. Behind its sad expression hides a gentle, friendly and very playful dog. Very popular as household pets, its placid character helps it adapt marvellously to family life.
