Basset Hound- breed
of short-legged, long-bodied hound developed centuries ago in France.
It stands from 12 to 15 in. (30.1–38.1 cm) high at the shoulder and
weighs from 25 to 50 lb (11.3–22.7 kg). The short, dense coat is usually
black, tan, or white or any combination of these colors. The basset
was perfected to hunt such game as rabbits, fox, squirrels, and pheasant
in very heavy ground cover; the shortness of its legs allows it to
keep its head to the scent with a minimum of difficulty. It has also
been trained to hunt raccoons and opossum and to retrieve. Renowned
for its scenting ability, which is second only to that of its close
relative the bloodhound, the basset is still popular as a slow but
efficient hunter. It is also raised as a pet.
