France and Belgium are the birthplaces of the Basset Hound, a dog breed well-known for its distinctive look. "Basset" means "low" in French, which perfectly describes this breed's characteristically small size, which is a consequence of dwarfism or achondroplasia.
The breed is standard begins with the St. Hubert's Hound as well as a huge scent hound that was erstwhile used to hunt deer and boar.
The Basset Hound is a cherished breed that is well-known for its distinctive look, friendly personality, and exceptional sense of smell. A dog of medium to big size, the elongated body, drooping eyes, and long ears make it easy to spot. Derived from the French word "bas," meaning low, the breed's moniker "basset" aptly describes its little build and short legs. The physical characteristics of the Basset Hound are a result of its long history of selective breeding for superior scenting ability.
Basset Hounds are easily recognisable by their exceptional sense of scent, which ranks them second in canine detection only to the Bloodhound. Basset Hounds were formerly beloved hunting partners due to their exceptional noses for detecting odours and following prey. The aristocratic Basset Hound has deftly evolved from a hunting dog into a beloved pet, appreciated for its kind and loving personality.
