Basset Hound
Basset Hound: is a sporting dog originally
bred in France from the French bloodhound and the Saint Hubert hound. The
basset was popular in France, Belgium, and other European countries for
hundreds of years before being exhibited for the first time at an English
dog show in 1875. After 1880 it gained rapidly in popularity in Great Britain.
Standing 28 to 38 cm (11 to 15 in) high at the shoulder, the basset has
a long body and heavy bones and weighs 11 to 18 kg (25 to 40 lb). The English
basset has deep-set eyes; long, soft, hanging ears; a long head; and a
well-developed black nose. Smaller than the English type, the French basset
is more agile. The type of basset common in America has crooked or half-crooked
front legs, well-muscled hind legs, heavy shoulders, and a deep chest.
Used for tracking and hunting small game and game birds, the basset has
a keen sense of smell, second only to that of the bloodhound.
