What was the Basset Hound first bred for?
The Basset Hound is an old breed which is a direct descended of the Bloodhound and has a nose that is almost as outstanding. Some sources suggest the Basset Hound may have originated from genetic dwarf dogs which were born in litters of different types of hunting hounds. The name "Basset Hound" comes from the French word "bas" meaning low. The Basset Hounds long ears have been poetically described by Shakespeare as: "Ears which sweep away the morning dew." The breed was first presented at a Paris dog show in 1863 which began the dog's popularity. Their popularity spread to England and feuds soon arose between those who wanted the dog to be more of a show dog, keeping them more as a companion dog and those who wanted to keep it as a hunting dog. The breed spread to America where breeders started developing a dog which they felt covered both hunting and companion / show traits. The breed was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1885. Able to hunt in both packs or alone, the dog is good at hunting in the den and in the open. They are used to hunt fox, hare, opossum, and pheasant. While the dogs reflexes are slow, it has an excellent sense of smell. The fact that they are relatively slow on their feet means they can be more convenient for hunters who are on foot. They are also less likely to scare game out of reach. It is said that George Washington owned Basset Hounds which were given to him by Lafayette after the American Revolution.
What were basset hounds bred for?
The Basset Hound comes from France. They were originally owned and bred by members of the French Nobility in the 1500s. In the 1700s, after the French Revolution, commoners started to hunt with the Basset Hounds for hunting. They were bred to hunt small animals such as badgers, rabbits, and hares. The Basset Hound belongs to the Scent Hound group of dogs. Their sense of tracking is only second to the Bloodhound. They have large noses with open nostrils and their loose lips that allow them to pick up scent particles and follow the trail of animals. They have long ears which help keep the scent of their prey close to their nose. Basset Hounds have been selectively bred to produce small legs to allow man to easily follow them on foot, or to produce longer legs for man to keep up with them on horseback.
