Dogs nature (im only basing this on my current basset hound dogs nature will probaly vary with who the owner is) Basset hounds are very easy going, mine likes walks long or short but does prefer it if it knows its going to get a treat at the end, it is excellent at walking without the lead on and will just stay by my side, mine has never shown any aggresion towards another dog or human and it is great with children, mine has a big appetite and if there is food about you can be sure it h...more

Basset Hounds were originally bred to hunt hare and rabbits. Recognised by The Kennel Club in 1887. Were shown in 1910 by Princess Alexandra, Queen Victoria's Daughter in Law. They are short legged hounds with long ears and cute faces, but be warned behind that cute look lies a cunning mind, just looking for the chance to make you look stupid, well that was what mine was. I had a beautiful Basset called Jasper, well that was what we named him, mind you he got called a few choice words as well. I decided I would show him, that was my first mistake. What I forgot what was their natural stubborn streak. So in the ring I went having been well ...

After wanting a dog for years i finally won over the family and we all agreed to get a dog. I had 2 breeds in mind, a Bulldog or a Basset.

We went to the rescue centre the next weekend and saw about 20 bassets ranging from playfull little puppies to lazy old dogs. There were lots that we liked but we couldnt make up our mind so over the next week of thinking about it we had a visit to make sure our house was safe and big enough to home a Basset.(which it was) We had made up our mind and ...

From the moment I saw one in a garden when i drove past I knew I wanted a Basset Hound, such soppy faces and big sad eyes and lazy, placid characters. I bought a book on Bassets and read up on their temperaments, characteristics, health problems etc and knew this was the breed for me. I found Horatio on www.epupz.co.uk, a website for breeders to advertise puppies for sale - the site is against puppy farming and regulates breeders where possible to weed out any bad apples, having checked all this, I saw a new advert for puppies that had just been born. I contacted the breeder and she sent me some photos of the litter and I chose the pup I wanted, she ...
