About the Basset Hound

The Basset Hound is a medium dog breed originating in France. Adult dogs typically weigh 40 to 65 pounds and live 10 to 13 years. The breed is described as easygoing, scent-driven, stubborn, vocal.

Households with secure fencing and patience for stubborn, scent-driven training. The breed is affectionate and good with kids. Owners expecting reliable off-leash recall — once a scent kicks in, a Basset goes deaf to commands.

Adult Basset Hounds need about 45 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 60 minutes. The coat is short-coated with moderate shedding, and brushing every 2 weeks keeps the coat manageable.
