Basset Hounds grow to 13 – 15 inches. Males weight 30-33kg and females 26-29kg.
Basset Hounds have a medium energy level and require only moderate grooming. Eyes, ears and nails are the main areas that require care.
They like to be part of the family and spend time around people. They are particularly well-suited for retirees.
Basset Hounds compete in Conformation and can be trained for simple obedience.
Be sure your puppy comes with ANKC registration paper and pedigree. See the links to each state registrar.
There are no particular health tests required or recommended for this breed. However, it is ideal to meet both parents of the puppies to ensure their eyes are clear.
Check that the puppies eyes are clear and healthy and that the pups are moving freely. Look for outgoing, friendly pups housed in clean, adequate facilities.
All colours are acceptable for Basset Hounds – there is no ‘right’ colour.
Although Basset Hounds have short legs, they are still considered a large breed.
They are not un-intelligent, just stubborn and lazy.
