With their long, droopy ears, Basset Hounds have a distinct appearance. These dogs are natural hunters, which has resulted in them becoming great outdoor companions for kids and other dogs. One issue to consider, however, is their builds- with such short legs, it can be difficult for them to climb steep stairs and move past certain furniture.

Provided you can get past such shortfalls, Basset Hounds are patient and sturdy dogs that can handle rough play. They are also easy-going and affectionate, which makes them good companions to older family members as well.
