I have a tri-color. He's incredibly stubborn but his version of stubborn is not wanting to do anything. When he "runs away" he doesn't get far because he's too lazy. And he's the most lovey dovey little bugger on the planet!

[breakawaybooks]

Best family dogs ever. Laid back, loving clowns, and loyal, they are a beautiful breed.

Bassets are extremely affectionate, loyal, loving, and sweet.

I had my Basset Hound for 11 years. It is 48 years since she died and I still miss her, even though I had other, much loved, pooches after her. They are quirky dogs, but the most loveable pets imaginable. It took a while too house train her and although my husband jokes that she was an excellent watch dog, always watching what she could have to eat!!, her baying was so loud and deep that those who didn't know her were terrified of her.
We had a powerful V6 Ford Ranchero Pick-up truck. One New Years eve when my husband was working night shift they finished up early and at 02:30 am I drove into city centre to pick him up at work. On the way there, there were about 30 robots and if you caught the first one red, you caught the whole lot.
I was in the middle lane and next to me was a car who also had to stop at the robots, the man driving the car saw I was alone and started driving at the same speed trying to catch my eye. Fortunately I knew I had a powerful vehicle and was not perturbed but what he could not see was the huge dog lying on the seat next to me. As I pulled up at another robot, I called her name and she immediately responded by sitting up straight next to me.
The poor man's face registered extreme shock at the sight of her head and shoulders. He floored the gas peddle and went through a red robot and turned off at the next one. I was never afraid of night driving as long as she was in the truck or car with me. 😅😆🐕

I read the cartoon strip 'Fred Basset' every day in the 50's and the 60's and fell in love with Fred. When we bought her she was a highly pedigreed Basset with 11 champions featured in her pedigree, but I had her spayed. She could easily have been a show-dog. Her colouring was outstanding as well as all the other features required as per the American Kennel Club. Her ears were like silk and she was brushed three times per week.
The moment she saw the brush she would come running, hollow her back and have an expression of absolute bliss as she submitted.
She had a bath once a month and having her very own very large bath she would subside in the warm water with her chin on the edge. She savoured every moment of being groomed.
They are kleptomaniacs and will walk off with whatever is stolen with most regal walk, tail held high. No scurrying off with a guilty expression. If you should scold them, they turn those exquisite, soulful, brown eyes on you and you end up apologising for having had the audacity to scold them in the first place.
I could write a hefty book about my Basset, Gigi.

1 Big misconception. Basset hounds DO need exercise! With how they're built and their obsession with food, giving them enough exercise is so important. Keeping the muscles strong for their joints and keeping them slim!

[mrsclark]

We had numerous Basset Hounds. They were very smart hence preferred to do what they wanted. I took our first female to obedience classes. She basically did what you commanded but would “talk about” how she objected to being commanded to sit, stay etc. The naturally obedient breeds were not thrilled by her “editorial comments 😜!

[susanaandress]

I always had loved Bassethounds, but i have had other breeds, mostly active hunting dogs from Shelters, street dogs. But i think now is the time to have a Bassethound, i am not so active anymore and this breed needs a moderate exercise, so i think i can finally have a Bassethound. I have more then 30 years experience with dogs, stubborns ore not, and i feel my house empty without a hairy friend, with the company and those lovely eyes looking at me, steeling my place at the sofa and a wagin tail in my life

[raylathem]

My Rufus is awesome! Very sweet and loving. He is laid back but I've been surprised by how fast and agile he is. He absolutely loves to play!

[plev]

Thank you for a very thorough explanation of all the wonderful traits that make bassets the finest, most beautiful creatures on the face of the earth.

[vickiglidewell]

I've had eight bassets (currently have two) and I was surprised that she didn't mention that they shed year round. I have to vacuum constantly just to keep up with their fur that is everywhere. And they do need exercise! All of my hounds were males and as puppies were absolutely wild and didn't calm down till they were 2 years old. I did manage to house break all of them but it did take a while, the quickest was 8 months but most took at least a year. And mine all had the corn chip smell. Both of the ones I have now are 80 lbs each and the oldest thinks he's a tiny lap dog and loves to cuddle.

[Hankercheif]

Our basset is named Louie, he is sweet, loveable and very smart, he gets up to all sorts of funny things, and he has to always be involved in everything that’s goes on inside the house, if I’m putting furniture together for example, he comes and sits right in the middle of what I’m doing. We wouldn’t get any other breed of dog anymore after owning a basset

[carolynkuzio]

I had 2 rescue Bassett hounds. Hope you don’t mind the drool, smell, messy. They are also very lovable. They love taking YOU for a walk.

[thomasdrozd]

Bassets are fantastic. They move really fast. They love their owners to pieces. I had 3 and my one son had 2 and a half. Loved and miss them all. P Drozd

My niece just gave us her six-year-old basset hound I'm an experienced dog owner so sweet gentle borderline possessive of me she definitely gets along well with our new puppy and our two cats

[lindaspiegel]

They are the most wonderful breed. So much of this is true. The one thing that got missed was intelligence. Basset Hounds can be very intelligent. My basset has a special intuition and intelligence in her surroundings and with people. Even now, at 14 years old, when she is both blind and deaf, she has a keen sense of what is around her and can adapt to her surroundings very well. I have spent most of her later years making her food at home, primarily with white meat chicken and vegetables. I believe most dogs don't live as long due to processed dog foods. I know it can be more expensive to make fresh food, but it will give you those extra years of companionship and love. And they are so full of both!

[renegado]

My Bassett is 4 months and only likes to go potty in the grass. He looks me in the eyes and gives me one little bark and I know he needs to go out. I love my pooch!

[peltiereric]

They are fabulous dogs, I miss mine so much, cancer took him after 12 years. Also they very much need substantial room to run around for exercise, they will eat themselves into hip and spine problems without enough exercise

[pamelabenjamin]

I have a Bassett Baby and he was easy to housebreaking. I love this breed. Everybody should have one. Great family pet. Very loyal. They are great with kids and other dogs.

My Bassett Elvis just counter surfed in the kitchen and ate 2 partial containers of humous. He's also very fond of potatoes raw or cooked, almost any kind of fruit, cough drops, tissues both used and unused. It's a good thing I really love him a lot. Fortunately I have a doggie door that he's used exclusively since I got him 5 years ago, so we don't have accidents in the house. Love my bassy.
