16 Interesting Things to Know About Basset Hounds

#4 What to Consider When Breeding the Basset Hound

When visiting the breeder, take plenty of time to look at the pedigree. It is best to take a close look at the parents and pay attention to the folds and body length. Excessive breeding leads to health problems. The reputable breeder willingly provides information about the rearing and will be at your side as a competent contact person after the move. A basset costs about 800-1000 euros.

#5 Basset Hound Appearance and Coat

The basset hound is notable for its massive build and long back. The breed standard provides for slight wrinkles on the cheeks and forehead, which the dog owes to its Bloodhound ancestors. If he tilts his head forward, it looks as if the four-legged friend is frowning. Basset Hounds come in tri-color black-white-tan, bi-color lemon-white, and other colors are acceptable. Your pet's fur is thick and smooth. Care has proven to be unproblematic: regular brushing is sufficient.

The Basset Hound's short coat is very easy to care for. Use a soft brush to remove dead hair, a procedure your loved one will probably enjoy.
