The Basset Hound originally comes from France, where it was probably bred by monks in the Middle Ages as a hunting dog. The Basset Hound’s ancestors are the now extinct Basset d’Artois and the Basset Artésien Normand, which arrived in England in the second half of the 19th century. A bloodhound was also crossed in 1892 to improve the breed’s sense of smell. Outside of Great Britain, the Basset Hound then spread, particularly in the USA, where it was meanwhile bred purely as a fashion dog with overemphasized breed characteristics. In the meantime, more and more value is being placed on balanced breeding.
