3 Basset Hound facts you may not have known
These pups are known for their endurance. While they may not be the fastest pups out there, they are definitely all about being deliberate in what they do and how they do it. It is a big reason why they have long been considered hunting dogs. (If you know The Great Mouse Detective, then you already know what Basset Hounds are like.)
Basset Hounds can be very stubborn. It is not just their endurance levels that make this breed solid hunting dogs, it is also their tenacious nature. They will do things the way they want to do them and they will ignore you if they want. While training any pup can mitigate them outright ignoring you, that doesn't mean they won't be stubborn just to be stubborn.
Finally, there is no denying that the Basset Hound might just be the ultimate family dog. They love people, other dogs, and even other animals. They are all for cuddling with their people, getting to know new people, and just generally being affectionate. These pups may look sad and droopy at times, but they are definitely little love bugs.
