While Basset Hounds used to be primarily hunting dogs in the past, and still are, but to a largely lesser degree, they don’t really need that much exercise. As mentioned before, an hour of moderate physical activity is often more than enough. Said activity can be going out for a walk, playing with his toys or playing with you or the other dogs in the field. You can go over that one hour mark by a few minutes, 10, maybe 20 max, but try to not over exert the poor guy.
