Breed Highlights

Renowned for their distinctive short legs and long, droopy ears, Basset Hounds are the epitome of a patient and relaxed companion. Their muted howls and gentle nature make them a favorite for families, while their medium size and adaptable activity level suit various living conditions. With a keen sense of smell second only to the Bloodhound, Bassets are as friendly as they are persistent on a scent trail.Dog toys
