You probably recognize this sad-looking breed. The Basset Hound is beloved by people all around the world for their large ears and sad clown-like face. Standing at no higher than 14 inches, the Basset Hound is a charming breed with a big personality. Their powerful nose and large bark make them ideal companions for hunters. They are not ideal for someone who lives in an apartment, as they can be very loud dogs, and their stubborn nature often makes them difficult to train.
