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.
