#13 How long should a Basset Hound walk a day?
Even though they have short legs, Basset Hounds need a moderate amount of exercise, up to 1 hour a day, to ensure they stay fit and do not become overweight, which is a typical health problem amongst the breed.
#14 Do basset Hounds protect their owners?
What Basset Hounds lack in protective drive, they make up for in loyalty and a pleasant disposition. They are very friendly not only to children and other animals, but even to strangers as well. Because of this, they are more identified as an ideal household pet, but never the best watchdog.
#15 Can basset Hounds go up and down stairs?
Like jumping, most Basset Hounds are capable of climbing stairs, but that doesn't mean going up and down steps is good for their long-term health. Using stairs involves experiencing small repeated impacts.
