Owning a Basset Hound will warm your heart ... they want to share their love, all the time! Looking like a cartoon character with their constant grin, their over-hanging belly, saggy eyes and floppy ears which are long enough to mop your floors, who can resist?
Basset Hounds have a warm personality, are very cuddly and love to have fun. They have such big hearts that they will share anything with you, even a peanut butter sandwich. Their great sense of humor and quirkiness will be sure to make you laugh!
They come from the family of hounds, and when out and about they will wander around to find interesting things to smell and be quite autonomous.
If you want a real buddy, don't mind dog drool and want to share a great sense of humour with your dog, then the Basset Hound is definitely one to have a closer look at.
