Basset Hound Dog Breed Information Guide

Basset Hound Appearance

Although small for the hound group, Bassets are medium sized dogs. Full grown Basset Hounds generally weigh between 55 and 65 pounds, and rarely stand more than 20 inches tall. Pleading eyes and long, droopy ears are the trademark characteristics of Basset Hounds. Most Bassets have white coats covered with random black and brown patches. Their hair is short, does not shed badly, and requires very little grooming.
