Basset Hound Puppies

Physical Characteristics

Temperament & Grooming Needs

Basset Hounds are peaceful, endearing dogs who are immediately recognizable across the world! Keep your Basset Hound active – they are happy to chill on the couch all day, but they benefit greatly from regular exercise. They’ll love to play outside, and are easy to incorporate into family play or dog park settings since they are so easy-going and friendly! One of the most notable characteristics of a Basset Hound is their innate drive to track any scent that catches their fancy, and they can easily wander off if they’re not on a leash or in a fenced yard. Their single-minded focus is adorable to watch, and perfectly harmless once you safeguard your pup’s environment! Basset Hounds are pack-oriented by nature, so they will delight in spending time with your family. Your pup will be happiest when it’s human and animal pals are nearby.

Basset Hounds are very easy to groom – simply wipe and brush out any dirty parts of the coat and give baths regularly to maintain healthy skin and fur. Since your pup’s adorable ears are long enough to drag on the ground, they’ll likely require special attention! Clean them weekly, and more often in wet or dirty environments. You’ll likely want to keep a cloth handy to dab your pup’s chin after drinking since their cute droopy face tends to drip a bit after visiting the water bowl!
