Temperament of Basset Hounds
The Basset Hound is sweet, gentle, devoted, peaceful and naturally well-behaved. It fits into family life well. Its temperament should always be friendly, and never vicious, moody or harsh, and would only become so if the owners lead the dog to believe he is pack leader over humans. It is mild but not timid; very affectionate with its master and friendly with children. It can be a bit stubborn with meek owners and needs a firm, confident, and consistent owner who displays natural authority over the dog. Dogs need to know the rules of the house and have the humans stick to them. Bassets like to do tricks for food. Our basset hound puppies for sale have a very good temperament and we’re here to discuss what you’re looking in puppy.
They have a deep musical bark. Housebreaking is difficult, but they do well with patient, gentle training. With proper training, they are obedient, but when they pick up an interesting smell, it’s sometimes hard to get their attention, as they like to follow their noses and may not even hear you calling them back. Only allow your Basset off lead in safe areas.
Basset Hound Personality
The basset hound is a friendly, easygoing dog. Originally hunting in packs, they tend to be good with other dogs and other pets in general. Bassets are people oriented and get along well with children. Fairly smart dogs, bassets are not easy to train as they are somewhat stubborn. A firm, patient hand with plenty of creativity is required to bring out the best in them. Bassets can be serious barkers and with their sturdy feet and nails they tend to be diggers. The hunting urge is still quite strong and if not safely confined they will go off hunting on their own. Adopt a basset hound from us today and best rest assured you’ve come to the right place. It’s important to adopt a basset hound puppy that fits your life stlye.
Living with a basset hound puppy
Basset hounds need a firm person in charge of their feeding as they have a definite tendency to become obese, which can cause serious problems with their long backs. Bassets are not high-powered athletes who need to run every day, but they should have a good long walk at least once daily to keep them fit. Most bassets live to 12 or 13 years. Paw Basset Yard puppies are good to live with since we’ve trained all our basset hound puppies for sale.
Having developed as pack animals, basset hounds do feel a need for company and are happiest when they have their families around. They are not great watchdogs. Although they may bark, but they then greet strangers happily. The loose lips lead to a fair amount of drooling and many owners keep towels strategically placed around the house for cleanup. Bassets left alone to their own devices can easily become nuisance barkers or diggers. Bassets are fairly intelligent dogs, but they are not the easiest to train. Start training right off with puppies and do plenty of positive training to keep them interested. They enjoy tracking and hunting, even if only as a casual pastime. Grooming is fairly quick and easy and involves just a swipe with a brush once or twice a week. In between groomings, the basset may track a great deal of mud or dirt into the house because of their low stature and big feet.
The Basset Hound will do okay in an apartment. They are very inactive indoors but outdoors they will run for hours in play if given the chance. They will do okay without a yard, but should be given plenty of opportunities to run and play to keep healthy and trim.
Grooming a Basset Hound Puppy
The smooth, shorthaired coat is easy to groom. Comb and brush with a firm bristle brush, and shampoo only when necessary. Wipe under the ears every week and trim toenails regularly. This breed is a constant shedder. It is very necessary to know how to groom a basset hound after adoption since you’ll always have to groom the puppy and make sure its healthy.

Just wanted to give you an update on our girl Eleven (formerly Kendra). She just had a birthday and she is doing great. In great health, and happy as can be. She has an absolutely wonderful temperament; such a great addition to our family.
We’ve just picked up our gorgeous boy puppy from Paw Basset Yard. They care for all their cats and puppies as their family and the result is beautiful, healthy and happy puppies. Paw Basset Yard is so helpful and happy to answer all your questions (even some silly newbie owner ones from me 😂). I would really highly recommend Paw Basset Yard and would never go anywhere else ❤️
We absolutely LOVE our boy, Royce! they is gorgeous, sweet, friendly and loving! Paw Basset Yard was always available and responsive to us, sent photos and videos and assisted us in the process of customs and travel to Canada!
Fantastic breeder, kept us updated at every step and always quick to reply if we had any questions. All their puppies and adult dogs clearly receive lots of love and attention and they gave us plenty of stuff to help settle our puppy Morgan into her new home. We couldn’t be happier with Morgan and she’s a testament to what good work Paw Basset Yard does.
