Sweet Gentle Hound - Basset Hound
Basset Hound is a short legged, long bodied, loose skinned and powerfully built dog with a great sense of smell. Basset Hounds' tracking abilities are second only to the Bloodhound with a nose that is incredibly accurate. His long ears serve to sweep the scent into his nostrils as he moves. His long ears and sad eyes easily attract people towards him. He has a short dense coat which is easily kept and can be of any recognized hound coloration. They are known for their loud, melodic howl-like bark. The AKC formerly recognized the basset hound in 1885 and classified it in the hound class. These dogs are to be between 12-15 inches in height for the male, the female is a little smaller at 11-14 inches
