#7 Are girl or boy basset Hounds better?
For the Basset Hound, it doesn't really matter if you choose a male or female. Unlike some breeds, there is little difference in temperament and trainability of a male versus female Basset Hound.
#8 Can basset Hounds jump on beds?
Standing at a height of roughly 15 inches and weighing up to 65lbs., Basset Hounds aren't able to easily hop on and off higher surfaces like couches and beds. Their long bodies and short legs make them prone to jumping-related back and joint injuries as well.
#9 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.
