A Basset Hound is a breed of dog known for its long ears, droopy eyes, and short legs. Originally bred for hunting, they possess a keen sense of smell and a strong instinct to track scents. Their laid-back demeanor and affectionate nature make them popular family pets. Despite their somewhat stubborn personality, Basset Hounds are generally friendly and good-natured.
Hound dogs can be prone to certain health issues including hip dysplasia, bloat, ear infections, and obesity. It's important to monitor their weight, maintain regular vet check-ups, and provide proper exercise to help prevent these conditions.
Basset hounds were originally bred in France to flush deer and other game to guns. They have since been used to hunt the brown hare in Britain. However, this practice was banned by the 2004 hunting act. About 8 packs are still in existence in the UK, some have moved to hunting rabbits which is permitted under the hunting act.
