The Basset Hound is a short-legged breed of dog in the hound family. Basset Hounds are usually bicolours or tricolours of standard hound colouration. Basset-type hounds became popular during the reign of Emperor Napoleon III (r. 1852–1870). There is a Basset Hound in the Smokey and the Bandit movie series. The dog, Fred, was personally picked by lead actor Burt Reynolds because it refused to obey commands.In the TV series The Dukes of Hazzard, a Basset Hound called Flash served as a companion to Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane.
