Height: 12–15 inches (30–38 cm)

Weight: 50–65 pounds

Coat: short, sleek, smooth, hard and shiny

Color: Bassets are generally tricolor (black, tan, and white), open red and white (red spots on white fur), closed red and white (a solid red color with white feet and tails), Honey And White (honey colored back, light brown spotty nose and legs, light brown tails with white tip) and lemon and white. Some Bassets are also classified as a rare gray or blue.

Appearance: Basset Hounds have long, low-set ears and powerful necks, with much loose skin around their heads that forms wrinkles. Their tails are long and tapering and stand upright with a curve. The breed is also known for its hanging skin structure, which causes the face to have a permanently sad look; this, for many people, adds to the breed's charm. The loose, elastic skin around the neck and trailing ears are thought to help catch the scent of what they are tracking. Basset Hounds are a "large dog" on short legs, surprisingly they are long and can reach things on table tops that dogs of similar heights cannot.

Temperament: A mild mannered, even tempered, and laid back breed, the Basset Hound is a breed of dog that is ideal for inexperienced dog owners and those with children or other pets, as he is a sociable creature and gets along with other animals as well as kids and adults. This is a breed that is largely very peace-loving and has a very cheerful disposition. Some Basset Hounds love to act the clown and others will carry themselves with dignity and calmness. The breed tends to be calm, polite and amiable around strangers. These dogs have a great sense of humor, and make wonderful companion and family pets

These dogs have a very responsive nature, and fare well with patient training methods. The Basset Hound is an animal that will be quite happy lazing by the fire, but his tendency to put on weight means that he will need to be exercised on a regular basis. The Basset Hound can sometimes be stubborn, and beware of his love of food, as he will be quite happy to steal any food that he finds on his travels. Although training these dogs is moderately easy with the right attitude, they can be very difficult to housebreak.

Health: The Basset Hound has a life expectancy of around 10-12 years. A number of health problems and issues are associated with this breed and this includes luxating patella, PRA, ectropion, entropion, epilepsy, elbow dysplasia, spinal problems, bleeding disorders, glaucoma, vWD, thyroid problems, and ear infections.

Memorial Day is the perfect time to honor US soldiers, including our canine pals serving our country and risking their lives fighting for our freedom. With the holiday weekend fast approaching here are a few fun, simple & cost saving ways to have fun with your dog.

Dog day at the park: Parks are the perfect place to host a Memorial Day cookout or picnic. So pack up your picnic baskets and enjoy summer weather and grill time at your local pet friendly park.  Hey don't forget to pack a ball or frisbee! As a responsible pet owner it is important to supervise your dog and pick-up.

Make a Splash: Cool down with your dog with a brisk swim in the pool or enjoy the sea shore at a pet friendly beach or lake. Unable to get to the beach or don't have access to an adult size pool. No worries! Pick up a kiddie pool at a discount store for some inexpensive water fun or just turn on the sprinklers! Your kiddies and dog will have a blast!!

Treat your dog: Hop in the car for a trip to your local pet store to purchase some goodies for your canine pal. Better yet search the web for delicious recipes, put on your apron, bake up a batch of homemade dog treats and reward your pup.

Bath time fun: Give your dog his or her day at the spa right at home with a relaxing bath. Getting your dog squeaky clean will only help to nurture the human pet bond. Besides everyone loves a nice smelling dog!

Take a Hike: Pack your backpack with ample food, water and supplies and go on a nature hike with your trail blazing canine. Make sure you follow hiking safety rules and keep your dog on leash and in eyes view.

Animals teeth need love to! Give your dog something to smile about by celebrating February National Pet Dental Month all year round. Dental health is an important part of your canines overall health & well being that often times goes neglected until serious health issues arise. Dog's teeth are much like a human's, just like you and me, they can develop bad breath, tarter and plaque buildup which can lead to gum disease. It is important that you brush your dogs teeth at least 2-3x's a week to maintain those pearly whites. Here is a short "How To" videos on brushing your dogs teeth.
