Basset Hound puppies 

Basset Hound puppies have long, hanging ears and a long body but are small dogs which even as adults only grow to between 13 and 15 inches high.  Due to dense bones they still weigh between 40 and 60 pounds.  Basset hounds have a strong sense of smell, are good-natured and loyal but are stubborn and a bit more difficult to train.  Basset hounds can be noisy, have ear, eye and back problems, shed more than other short-haired dogs and require more cleaning due to their low height.  Despite their small size, it is best for Bassett Hounds to have some space for roaming.  The following videos illustrate several examples of Basset Hound puppies.
