Origin: France

The Basset Hound, also known as the Basset Hound, originated in France and has a history of about 100 years. This is a very old breed that evolved directly from the Bloodhound.

In the past, the Basset Hound was a specialized walking hunting dog, usually used to hunt small wild animals such as raccoons, foxes, rabbits, and can also be used to hunt birds. This humorous hunting dog has a very sensitive sense of smell and is famous for its deep and special sound when chasing prey. It is a representative hound in France, on par with the dachshund, and is also a representative dog with a long body and short legs. In 1880, it was brought to Britain by aristocrats. After the War of Independence, someone gave this dog to George Washington, and this dog was introduced to the United States. After careful breeding and reproduction, the American Kennel Club allowed registration in 1885. As an ornamental dog, this dog has a high reputation in Britain and the United States. The true rumor about the Basset Hound is that it appeared at the Paris Dog Show in 1863. It became popular in 1883, spread to Britain, and was recognized by the Kennel Club. It was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1964.

The face of the Basset Hound always maintains a sad expression, but the actual personality is lively, cheerful, smart, gentle, obedient, considerate, loyal and cute.

The disadvantage of the Basset Hound is that it sometimes makes some very low, dissatisfied roars, especially when left alone at home. If you are a person with mysophobia, then it is not your ideal dog because it drools a lot. Its velvety ears often fall off, blocking the circulation of air and easily causing ear inflammation. Therefore, the most troublesome thing in daily care is to "take care of" its long ears. Apart from that, it is basically a very easy-to-care pet.
