If you want to see some Basset hound photos, you’ve come to the right place.
Basset hounds are a dog everyone knows and loves. Their short, stocky bodies often seem at odds with their very long ears! They have large heads and short legs, and their coats are short and come in a variety of brown, white, and black. Many people think Basset hounds are adorable because of their ears and strange combination of features.
They were originally bred as pack dogs, and that has certainly influenced their personality! They tend to be a little clingy and prone to separation anxiety, so if you’re at home a lot and want a companion by your side, they’re a perfect choice. However, if you’re never home and leave them all day, you should cause some anxiety issues.
A Gentle Dog…
They’re gentle and easy to train, because they want to please you. Just make sure you start training early and keep up with it. Socializing them will also help. Introducing a dog to a variety of new situations makes them confident and happy.
They can, however, have a bit of a prey drive with small animals. You should introduce them to small animals carefully, and never leave them alone unsupervised. As long as you stay on top of this and work on their recall, it shouldn’t be an issue. It is, however, important to be aware of!
