Basset Hound

Let sleeping dogs lie.....
Charles Dickens

All about me.

My name - Basset Hound (in French that means "low set")


My average height - 14 inches


My average weight - 45 to 65 pounds


My coloring - Black, tan, white - in no particular order.


What I'm Trying to Say is........

It might be a little hard to tell when we Basset Hounds are bowing down - you know, with our back legs up and our front legs flat on the ground - but with most dogs it's pretty easy to see that they're saying. "I want to play!" (We Basset Hounds usually just take naps instead.)


Woofs of Wisdom.

Put on a happy face! (Or if that seems like it might take too much energy, you might just want to take a nap. Sweet dreams!)

Fur Fact.

We, the Basset Hounds, cannot tell a lie. The father of our country, President George Washington, was a great man - and an owner of Basset Hounds.

Four - Footed Funnies

Why did the Basset Hound bury his bone in the yard?

Because he was too short to put it up in the tree.

In the Doghouse....

Keep your head low and your nose to the ground. Trouble will sail right over your head! (Although you might also end up somewhere you've never been before by accident. That happens to us a lot and that's why our humans try not to let us wander away.)

Food, Fur and You....

Always wash your ears....especially if you've recently stepped on them,
