Basset Hound Puppies
Basset Hound puppies famously possess a frown which sometimes makes them look sad.
But don’t be fooled by appearances.
Bassets are a cheerful, good-natured breed, ensuring their popularity in the UK among pet owners.
Basset Hounds usually have short coats and come in two colours at Dogs4Us: black, white and tan; and lemon and white.
On average, a basset hound puppy will grow to 11”-15” and weigh between 40 and 60 pounds.
They are home-lovers, so won’t suffer stress living in an apartment but will, like most puppies, expect to be exercised a few times each day.
Apart from the frown caused by sagging skin on the face, Basset Hound puppies are characterised by long, floppy ears, sturdy necks, stout legs and being a vocal breed.
Basset puppies make great family pets due to their good-nature. However, care should be shown when introducing other pets, such as cats and rabbits, as the breed hasn’t entirely forgotten its hunting instincts.
