    Our 3 year old basset, Archie is the best companion. He is friendly, loving, goofy and stubborn! Despite what people think he loves to walk and run and is by no means lazy. Although he does love to nap and cuddle constantly. He is very instinct driven and not the most obedient. He will stand on his hind legs to grab food- be prepared to hide the snacks! He rarely howls or barks and doesn’t drool much. He does shed a bit but nothing crazy. Archie has had his fair share of Vet visits that, looking back, could have been avoided with better grooming. They are prone to eye and ear infections, hot spots and TONS of allergies. We highly recommend doing an allergy test ($60 or so online) so you can tailor their diet. We now make his food at home (yes it’s a hassle but very worth it) to minimize his allergies. Since doing so his energy levels, cost and allergies have improved SO much. I know this is controversial but factor kibble for the most part is terrible. Happy to share our recipe if anyone likes! Archie is fantastic with our 2 year old and has never once shown aggression. He is so loving and easy going but definitely stubborn at times. I will say he has a slight yeasty smell which is common with bassets (smells like Cheetos! Haha) but my wife and I have grown to love it, call us crazy. If you’re on the fence about a basset do not be deterred by the negative stuff online. They are AMAZING companions and we will be adding another to our family in the future.

    Bassets have been in my family since before I was born. They are dorky, sweet, smart, headstrong, and loving! My last basset did guard me against a would be home invader, though that night did turn out to be more comical than scary. But a Basset is loyal, they are able to scent ANYTHING! They are meant for cuddles, kids, and great memories

Just separate them from people for a few minutes as discipline, it really works as they do SO LOVE people! She wasn't mean in any way, but her bark (from inside the house), scared many people away! Without seeing her they believed that bark came from a Great Dane or any much larger breed!

    My Basset Hound Piper is 2.5 years old. She is not a lay around all day dog. She is very active. She will walk as long as you want too. She jumps around like a bunny rabbit when excited. She loves bones and toys. She will entertain herself by throwing her dog food up in the air and chasing it. She does this with toys, dog food, bottle caps, baseball hats, etc.,. She only drools when food is in front of her. She thinks that she should be able to eat anything you are eating and will run up to the bar in our kitchen and bark when she knows I have recently cooked. She will force you to love her. She barks when she wants anything. It is the same if she is hungry, thirsty, wants to go outside, wants you to lift her onto the bed, or just wants attention. She does bark when people come to the door and acts like she will protect you when a stranger surprises her by growling all while running backwards. The only con to me is they do shed tremendously so you will have to vacuum and wash bedding almost every day and although we have another dog for companionship if you leave her alone too long she will punish you. She does this by tearing up something like your shoe, bra, cap, brush, etc....She makes it personal or she will be anxious and demanding when you come home. Incessant barking. As my best friend says, no matter how much you don't want to like her she will force you to fall in love with her if you spend any amount of time around her.

    Basset hounds are far from low maintenance!! They are stubborn, food oriented and definitely not people pleasers, they do what they want, when they want, and if you try and force anything different, they will grumble and growl and go flat basset. Mine are a pair of Bassholes, but they are very lovable, needy and love cuddles, they’re also massive counter surfers, and nothing is safe from them, they believe all food should be shared, and if it’s left, you clearly didn’t want it and it’s therefore up for grabs!!
    However, despite all this, I absolutely adore my two and they’re definitely my babies and I wouldn’t have them any other way.

    The bassets I have had including the one I have they need a companion since they can get separation anxiety if they are left at home with no one there. So it’s better that they have a companion. We have our pure bred basset and our basset cross and they adore each other and keep each other company

    As a Basset Owner I find this list very confusing. My Moses is actually a very good guard dog as far as letting you know a stranger is coming. No he's not going to attack someone but he lets you know when someone arrives at the house. Moses hardly ever drools unless he's been on a long walk and panting for awhile. But as for just drooling at any time....not at all. Moses is very active and loves to go outside and run and play. He is only 3 years old so that may change, but I just had him out last night and he ran and ran and ran and he's FAST. I wouldn't take him for a long run, but for short distances he's pretty athletic. They were bred for hunting small game (and not catching them) so they are hardy and can move pretty quickly. He also doesn't dig hardly at all. The biggest cons (that aren't really listed here) that my dog has are that he sheds....like A LOT! If you don't want a dog that leaves a trail of hair....don't get a Basset. Also, as for walking...if you want a dog to walk around the neighborhood with......your walks are more like scavenger hunts. Moses wants to stop and sniff EVERYTHING. So a one mile walk may take an hour with all the stops. All these things said, I wouldn't own any other breed before a Basset. They are the sweetest, kindest, happiest (don't look in the droopy eyes though) dogs around. And the funniest.

    I just got my first basset this year! She is the best. Still a puppy and learning daily, she is so great. Loves snuggles, and chasing her toys. Although, I think I may have a more athletic basset than most. She can catch wild birds in the back yard and brings them into the house lol! But, wouldn't trade her for all the money in the world. My other dog is a Leppard Cur hound and they are best friends. I may be a forever basset owner.

    Ive bred and had quite a few Bassets over the years firstly the drooling is really not a factor most bassets dont really drool except if its dinner time and even then its pretty minimal the issues i would say are eye issues such as Entropion and Glaucoma thry can also be susceptible to Bloat and finally they molt a lot 365 days a year the fuckers are molting but a grooming mit makes a big difference and they arenvery accommodating of a cuddle and a stroke. All dogs have there problems bassets are no different but for me what you get are the funniest most relaxed chilled out dogs that want nothing more then to sprall out on top of you like they were danty lap dogs not 30kg heffer lumps.

      @dominiceckstein9650 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Infections its drops or antibiotics Entropion normally requires surgery but it's more on the dogs that are very heavily furnished. (Wrinkly)
      As for Bloat feed raw or wet soak any dry food for a few minutes before hand you can also spread there meals .
      They aren't major factors but things to be aware of and I'm assuming most people watch this video to learn about a breed they are interested in.
      As for cuddles they love curling up and cuddling both with other dogs and people if you put 3 dogs in a room with 2 beds they would all end up in one bed together. They are pack animals had a bad day lay on the sofa the dog will climb on top of you fall a sleep then over the next hour slide off you and off the sofa without ever waking up. But yes definitely good for a cuddle

    Loved my European Basset - he weighed in at 90 lbs. (not 1 ounce overweight) and his head was 3 feet off the floor - HUGE! Think of all the Basset characteristics magnified by 10! His choice would have been sleep 20 hours a day, eat for 2 hours & 2 hrs. to test out all of the most comfortable spots in the house! Being that tall, he didn't just counter surf, he counter attacked! He once dragged a 5 lb. jar of peanut butter off the counter, chewed off the lid and ate half the bottle! He definitely drooled (and at that size it could easily reach the ceiling when he shook) and there was never enough food or treats to satisfy him. He was a great people person, although that separation anxiety could pop up. (always had to know where I was) Stubborn? Oh yes - but mention the word "treat" and you'd get whatever behavior your desired! Two things I haven't seen mentioned. Odor - they smell like a hound so love it or leave it. Anal glands - like the ears they must be kept clean or you'll pay the piper!

    We have a basset hound and english bulldog mix. He is a wonderful dog but came from a bad home. He was severely neglected so he has some agression issues that stem from trauma. The year I've know him, he has grown so much as a dog. When we first got him he would snap at you over anything and now hes a giant teddy bear (most of the time).

    We've only had the chance so far to be part of two Bassett hounds' adopted family. We added Doogie to our human family from the local animal shelter, and in Doogie -hound's later years, Flint Marshmallow Heavybottom joined Doogie's home. Flint is a lively 5-year-old just starting to "fill out" to a lovely sort of mature housedog. He respects the housecat, patrols his yards, loves walks, and is good with all human or animal visitors, and travels with us fairly happily. Drooling, yes: and isn't that loveable anyhow... and the floor is generally clean of crumbs way before either of his humans can even look for the little bits. So yes, even with drooling, shedding heavy short hairs, noisy ear flopping, and slower full speed runs, the Bassett is truly the adaptable househound for this family. I would have loved to persuade either of them to learn swimming skills as one of the videos portrayed, but we travel with a bright yellow and blue hound -life -vest that has been passed along from ancestral househound; Flint doesn't mind wearing it for short adventures that might involve water crossings, even though he has grown too mature for most costume wearing. I neglected to brag about a Bassett hound trick that Doogie showed us: when having difficulty getting myself up, Doogie would come near, and even with his own difficulties getting his legs under himself at times, would bring his broad shoulders to my side and have me gain my balance with my hand on those broad shoulders. I claim he was a better nurse or doctor than I ever could be.

    There are a few inaccuracies in the video. Bassets have their own personalities as all of us do and some are better with strangers and children than others. I have had super shedders and low shedders, heavy droolers and one that never drooled. In all, I have been owned by six bassets so far. They can be stubborn and more difficult to train if you don’t understand what they need to succeed. Never leave them off leash unless in a fenced area. They will get lost following a scent and do always respond well to recall if there’s something really enticing around. I have had two bassets with back pressure and only one recovered. One has had glaucoma and needed both eyes removed but he adapted very well. One basset had horrible allergies from one year old. I wouldn’t say that they are low maintenance. Bassets have a hound smell and need regular baths. Mine get a bath every 2-3 weeks plus weekly ear cleaning for those long ears that accumulate lots of crud on the outside and wax inside. I do think bassets are excellent family dogs because of their temperament and great for seniors (after adolescence) because of their lower energy levels than most other dogs. Still, they do enjoy walks and hikes.

    I've had 8 bassets and their drooling is not that bad. None of my bassets ever dug holes. What is bad is the ear infections. They require ear cleaning on a regular basis...at least weekly. Also, they have weak backs and can sustain permanent injuries by jumping off furniture or stairs. My experience is that male bassets live to about 12..Females a couple of years longer.

    The real pros and cons of Basset Hounds
    Pros:
    1) Gentle and loving
    2) Almost human-like personalities
    3) They are extremely easy to train as long as the training is in their wheelhouse. Don't expect much if you're into doggy dancing with a Basset Hound.
    4) They are great around little kids
    5) They are empathic dogs. If you're in a fight with your wife your Basset will likely reveal to you his or her grief.
    6) A Basset Hound usually has 13 years of life if you don't overfeed him or her.
    7) Despite what people think Bassets don't drool all the time. They will drool after drinking water, but a few paper towels will resolve the problem.
    Cons:
    1) Bassets have a distinct smell that can't be washed off. You can use perfume to try and mask it, but all you end up with is a unique smell of Basset BO and perfume. It's not an overwhelming bad odor, but it is noticeable and it will infuse its way into your bedsheets and couch cushions.
    2) Basset Hounds are couch potatoes so if you're the type of person who doesn't allow pets on your couch DO NOT get a Basset Hound, period, end of story. Your Basset belongs on your couch whether you like it or not.
    3) Bassets are more prone to stomach flipping than other dogs their size especially in their old age and if it happens you have no choice but to put them down. Don't waste your money on painful surgery, their life is over because the surgery can't reattach the connective tissue and the dog's stomach will flip the first time he jumps on your couch. The last thing is, that stomach flipping in Bassetts isn't common, but it does happen more than other dogs their size.
    4) All dog owners of pretty much all bread need to commit to walking their dogs a minimum of once a day, so if you can't commit to that get a cat.

    I love my basset. They’re hi-lo maintenance. You gotta bathe them and take care of them like any other dog. They love lots of attention. But they are EXTREMELY lazy. So if you live a busy lifestyle and can’t spend hours tossing a ball and keeping them active, get a basset.

  • @top_gallant

    At full run a basset will out pace a human. Just remember that even if they can be lazy they also are dogs and don't mind running for the entire day when they are young.
