The basset hound puppies are red to brown over white in color and are odd
shaped in that they have a normal shaped body, but stubby short legs. Basset
Hounds are scent hounds with an excellent sense of smell.
Basset Hound puppies are adorable with their long floppy ears that seem to grow
faster then any other part of their body, so they can drag on the ground and
dip in their food bowl for a while. Because of their short stature they do well
for a house dog in spite of their size.
Basset Hounds are excellent with children but can be slower to house train than
other breeds, so you must be firm with them from the time that they are
puppies. They are rather docile and can be a little lazy and they just love to
sit on the porch and smell the breeze while they stand guard.
