The Basset Hound is descended from the old St. Hubert hounds.
It was used to trail and drive game away.
The Basset had famous admirers as King Edward VII and Shakespeare.
The Bassets long ears were developed to stir up and hold the scent for their strong nose to smell.
The folds of skin under the chin help trap and hold the scent.
Basset Hounds are a relatively big breed with a male weighing around 35 kg or more.
Basset Hounds take eighteen months to three years to fully mature.
Colours can be any hound colour, tricolour (black, white, tan), tan and white,
red and white, lemon and white or even liver and white.
