They're pretty low-energy and slow-moving pups, (as long as they don't catch the scent of a neighborhood rabbit, that is) and their short coat is a cinch to care for. The most time-consuming part of caring for a basset hound is his long, floppy ears. They'll need a weekly cleaning to stay healthy and infection-free.
