Many things, first of all size, shape, and color. Basset Hounds are short-legged, relatively small, and have long backs. They often come in white with patches of brown. Blood Hounds are not short-legged, having a more proportionate build. They are quite large, and are a reddish-brown color with some darker points.
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.
