Basset Hounds

• Basset Hounds were bred to hunt in packs. Therefore, they are very social and affectionate. They are also calm, mild mannered, and gentle.
• Most Basset Hounds enjoy the company of other dogs, pets, and family members and may even get lonely if frequently left alone for long periods of time. While they don't mind spending a lot of time sleeping, they also need daily attention and quality time with their owner(s).
• Basset Hounds can be both sensitive and stubborn. They may get upset when scolded and at times may behave as though they don't hear your commands.
• Basset Hounds have great endurance and can follow a scent for hours. But, since they also love naps and don't mind spending the day lounging around, they have a tendency to become overweight. Therefore, a Basset Hound needs regular exercise to keep its weight in check.
