Basset hounds have large feet to support their heavy bodies and compensate for their short legs. The larger surface area of their feet helps distribute weight more evenly, providing stability and balance as they navigate their low-to-the-ground stature. Additionally, their big paws are advantageous for digging and tracking scents, which are key traits in their hunting background.
