French Hunter
The Basset Hound has been adored in France for centuries. They were initially bred to hunt small game like rabbits and hares, because their sense of smell is impeccable. Till this day, they are still used to track and hunt these small animals.
A Basset is very placid and laid back. They love nothing more than to be surrounded by their families, especially on the couch. If a Basset is left alone for long periods of time, they tend to become very unhappy and destructive. If you think you love food, wait till you meet a basset hound. They are foodies at heart. Basset hounds love to eat and because of this, they easily gain weight. It is so important to maintain a healthy diet with your hound and have a regular exercise regime to prevent obesity.
When it comes to training, you need a lot of patience. The Basset Hound is very stubborn and training them is not as easy as most breeds, but if you push through, it will be all worth it.
Adding a Basset Hound to your family will always be a good choice. This breed is friendly with every person and animal they meet, including children.
