AKC Basset Hound

Known for his long, pendulous ears, his short, powerful legs and his sweet and somehow sad expression, the Basset Hound is a noble and determined scent-hound, capable of hunting for hours on end, who thrives on being involved in his owners' daily life. The Basset Hound is regarded as an ideal family dog, adaptable and affectionate, protective and trainable. For an owner seeking an easygoing, steady companion and watchdog who requires quite little of his owner, the Basset Hound will not disappoint. This book provides the much-needed factual information about the Basset Hound and his ancestry, character and standard, as well as puppy selection, feeding, training, preventative health care and showing. The new owner will welcome advice about preparing for the pup's arrival, housebreaking and preventing puppy problems.
