Mountain West Dog Fanciers
A Guide to all things "DOG" in the Western Mountain States
           
Basic Description: The Basset Hound is a true hunter of ancient lineage. His keen sense of smell and staying ability on the trail make this sturdy
little hound invaluable. In France, his country of origin, he was used to hunt and to trail deer and rabbit. His coat is short, generally Foxhound in
color. Characteristics of this breed are his woeful expression and long droopy ears and melodious tongue. For a very good history and complete
description of the Basset Hound please visit this site.
