He may be best known as the Hush Puppy dog, but the Basset Hound is much more than an advertising icon.
With his placid personality and short-statured yet noble appearance, the Basset Hound is a popular family companion, as well as a slow-paced but keen hunting dog.
It’s been often said that dogs are the only creatures on earth that love you more than they love themselves. Well, Basset Hounds are no exception!
But sometimes, we take our furry friends and wonderful companions for granted. There are important life lessons that are sometimes easy to forget in our hectic lives, that all Basset Hound owners must never forget.
If we want to pay back the favor and give them the best life possible, these 20 important reminders should serve you well as awesome Basset Hound owners. The last one (#20) brought me to tears…

I’ve had two bassets and their bodies are designed to pick up scents. Bathing them daily or even weekly would ruin their coat and skin. You might try wiping him down with a damp towel and if you do be sure to get his pads, feet and legs. Buford is a handsome boy.
