#4 To get a healthy dog, never buy a dog from an irresponsible breeder, a mass breeder, or from the pet store.
Look for a reputable breeder who tests their breeding dogs to make sure they don't have any genetic diseases that could be passed on to the puppies and that they have solid characters.
#5 Do basset Hounds like walks?
Excessive running and high impact activity should be avoided. If your Basset Hound has good recall, off-leash walking or play at the park is ideal. The majority of Basset Hounds aren't good off-leash. This is because they are a hound dog and if they get the scent of something the chase is on.
#6 Do basset Hounds get separation anxiety?
Basset Hounds are scent dogs that were bred for hunting rodents. They are social dogs that can develop separation anxiety. They are incredibly loyal and devoted to their owners, so separation anxiety and depression can develop in them if they are not given proper time and attention.
