Top-quality Basset Hound Puppies for Sale
The Basset Hound seems to have originated in the late sixteenth century France where the name ‘Basset’ derived from the French word ‘bas’ (low). The hound’s head shape and keen sense of smell suggest the breed was probably developed as a dwarf mutation of the Bloodhound. This breed started to become popular in the 1800’s and made it’s way over to America.
The Basset Hound was first registered by the AKC in 1885 and was grouped as Hound. Bassets ranked 27th out of 154 dog breeds in 2005 AKC registrations.
