The Basset Hound is sweet, gentle, devoted, peaceful and naturally well-behaved. They fit into family life well. Their temperament should always be friendly, and never vicious, moody or harsh, and would only become so if the owners led the dog to believe he was pack leader over humans. They are mild but not timid; very affectionate with its master and friendly with children. It can be a bit stubborn with meek owners and need a firm, confident, and consistent owner who displays natural authority over the dog. Dogs need to know the rules of the house and have the humans stick to them. Bassets like to do tricks for food. It has a deep musical bark. Housebreaking is difficult, but they do well with positive reinforcement and patient, gentle training. With proper training, they are obedient, but when they pick up an interesting smell, it's sometimes hard to get their attention, as they like to follow their noses and may not even hear you calling them back. Only allow your Basset off lead in safe areas.

Can a spayed cavalier king charles spaniel mate with a basset hound?
Although it is possible for a Basset Hound to have intercourse with a spayed female Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, the female WILL NOT get pregnant. It is also quite unlikely that the Basset Hound will want to try and mate with a spayed female as most males will only try and mate with females if they are in season. As the Cavalier has been spayed, she cannot come into season so the Basset Hound will unlikely want to have intercourse with her. Spayed females cannot get pregnant or go into season, so even if the Basset Hound does mate with her, there is no chance of puppies.
