Basset Hounds

Yes, ALL dogs can swim. Although, the Basset hound is not a very fast swimmer.

They don't have long legs, their legs are quite short.

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.

As of my last update, the oldest known Basset Hound lived to be 14 years old. However, it's important to note that individual lifespans can vary widely, and new records may emerge. For the most accurate and current information, checking with breed organizations or recent news sources would be beneficial.

In what way? We actually have an English Setter Basset Hound mixed breed and she is fantastic and ADORABLE! She's white with black and brown "ticking" like a setter with short legs and a long body- but not quite as stout as a basset. She's very friendly and has a great temperament, just needs a lot of exercise.

We also have a English Setter Basset Hound mixed breed and she's wonderful. She's 7months healthy and beautiful. She is strong willed and requires alot of activity (long walks, outdoor play). She is great with people including children.

In the movie The Fox and the Hound, Copper is a young "hound dog." In other words, a hunting dog. Hunting dogs are chosen and trained to have an amazing sense of smell. Copper is able to find Todd because of his smell.

Basset hounds, like all dogs will run away from you when you let them off their leashes if not trained. They like all dogs get distracted and excited with a lot of distractions from being outdoors.

I own a Rottweiler/Basset Hound mix....I call him a Rott-N-Basset.
