Measuring just 13-15 inches at the shoulder, the dog can weigh anywhere from 50-70 lbs. Its traditional color is the tri combination of tan, black and white, but it is also accepted in red on white, red with white feet and tail, or white with lemon markings.
The Basset Hound is a sweet natured and affectionate animal, ideal as a family pet. However they are a very social animal that craves company, which means they do better with another companion animal when the humans are away from home.

If you do not have total voice control over them, a leash is recommended when out of the yard. © DogDecor.com |
