Basset hounds are sweet-natured dogs.
Their long, floppy ears and their mournful expressions melt people's hearts and challenge their wisdom. But, hidden in that sweetness, bassets hide a stubborn streak, a body that sheds all-year round, a propensity to steal anything within its nose's reach, and an instinct to follow its nose, regardless of how far the hound finds itself from home. I have compiled a small FAQ about the most distinguishing characteristic of bassets. Click here to view it. Some people, before buying a dog, do make an intensive search regarding the breed.
