Basset Hound Portraits by Sally Logue
Breed Information - Basset Hounds Basset Hounds were developed in the UK towards the end of the 19th century, descended from the St Hubert Hound, a French breed . Basset Hounds are characterized by their short legs. Relative to its size, however, it is the heaviest boned dog of any breed. Bassets are well known for being strong-willed and loyal
and are used for flushing out game such as hares. There was a very funny
article in the Guardian a few years back when the question of banning
hunting was first raised. It said that the only thing to be attacked/damaged
was the buffet when the bassets arrived! The name 'basset' is derived from the French word bas meaning 'low' Thanks for your contribution Sally-Ann!
