About Basset Hound

The Basset Hound is a short-legged breed of dog in the hound family, originally bred for hunting hare. Known for their exceptional sense of smell, second only to the Bloodhound, Basset Hounds are scent hounds, meaning they primarily hunt by tracking scents. Their droopy ears and sad eyes are a hallmark of the breed, contributing to their endearing, laid-back demeanor. Originating in France, the name 'Basset' comes from the French word 'bas,' meaning 'low.' Basset Hounds are popular family pets, known for their gentle nature and loyalty. While they are relatively low-energy indoors, they require regular exercise to prevent obesity.

Size Overview

Understanding the size of a Basset Hound is important for potential owners. These charming dogs typically measure about 950mm wide and long, and stand roughly 400mm tall. That's equivalent to 95cm x 95cm in width and length, with a height of 40cm. A Basset Hound is about the size of a small coffee table, and while you couldn't quite fit one in the palm of your hand, they are certainly compact enough to comfortably share your living space. When considering adopting a Basset Hound, knowing their adult size helps you prepare accordingly.
