#19 But the Basset Hound is by no means – although its appearance might suggest it – “truly stupid”, as the saying goes.
On the contrary: the four-legged friends are extremely intelligent. This is also shown, among other things, in the often observed stubbornness, against which master and mistress have to assert themselves. Despite this, Basset Hounds are generally not aggressive or hostile towards people and/or strange dogs.
