There are hundreds of dog breeds in the world and each of these breeds will obviously have their own personalities and temperaments. And having an idea about the type of temperament your dog has can also give us insight into their owners.
With so many dog breeds out there, and trying to pick the right breed for you, knowing what owning a specific dog says about you can actually go a long way to finding the right pup in the future. So what does owning a Basset Hound say about who you are and your personality?
In order to figure this out, we have to know what the Basset Hound's temperament actually is. And this is where the American Kennel Club (AKC) comes into the picture. According to their break down of this particular breed, it seems that the Basset Hound is known for being a more low-key pup. Not only that, but these dogs are more patient than most.
Basset Hounds an be very charming and they can be affectionate with the right people. While they may be known for their barking, these pups can do well around strangers and are happy to play with their owners and other pups.
So what does all that say about us?
What does being a Basset Hound owner say about you?
Honestly, if you own a Basset Hound you are likely affectionate as well. And not only that, but you are likely a very loyal person. Much like your pup, you are more on the low-key side and prefer a more laid back approach to life.
While you may not have problems with strangers, that doesn't necessarily mean that you want to be around them all the time. You don't mind friendly people and are especially willing to engage with people who appreciate your dog, but when it is time to go home and relax, you are all for it. Considering the Basset Hound is not a very high energy pup, as their owner you might not be down for a vigorous hike, but you don't mind a stroll through a local park.
And there is no denying that you and your pup both understand being patient, which is definitely something people can appreciate. But when it gets right down to it, you and your pup are good with each other's company and have no problem with a snuggle and snooze at home over being the life of a party.
Bring on the Basset Hound life!
