Basset Hound

The Basset Hound is a short-bodied, stout dog with droopy features, long ears and wrinkly skin. They can be quite large, weighing up to 75 pounds, and their short stature is a form of genetic dwarfism. They are scent hounds with powerful noses and tend to be rather lazy.

Basset Hound Health and Information - Vetary

The French word "bas" is thought to have been the origin of the word "basset," because "bas" means "low thing" or "dwarf." History suggests that the first time the word "basset" was used in reference to a dog breed was in a 1585 hunting text written by Fouilloux.

PetMD: Basset Hound

Gentle and non-confrontational, the Basset is instantly recognizable by its big, heavy body, long ears, and short legs. Basset, in fact, comes from the French word bas, which means low. One thing is for certain, the Basset Hound is an excellent tracker and hunter but also a loyal pet.
