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.
