At what age does a male basset hound become an adult basset?
When a Bassett hound puppy stops growing is kind of a funny thing because this is a breed that exhibits dwarfism. You know the only part of the dog that is small is the legs. Everything else about the dog is normal size. They have a normal size head, a normal size tail, body length and you know and girth. They're, their height is dwarfed. So with this dwarfism you know they are basically a normal sized dog minus the legs so, so it's something that you want to think about when you are asking yourself when does a Bassett Hound puppy stop growing. It's the typical age of most dogs which is about you know they are going to get all their height in the first year and then they are going to fill out the next year and a half you know. So by three years old that dog is completely done growing and maybe by a year and a half he's sexually mature but still going to fill out just a little bit. Now Bassett Hounds they are obviously a hound and what they were you know they are scent hounds, so those long ears help them to pool a scent into one area to keep them on track with things. And they are kind of a lumbering breed like kind of slow and moving around but they give their bays, they howl and they you know they let the hunter know, you know what direction to go in. But they typically stop growing by a year and a half. You know Bassett Hounds are a great dogs, lovely family pets and just great to be around."
