11-month-old purebred male Basset, rescued from an abusive home and has been doing really well since coming into my care. He’s newly potty trained and dog-door trained, but hasn’t been kennel trained. He does impressively well in the car—it actually seems to comfort him—and does great on a leash and at the dog park. He’s still learning basic commands and becoming more treat-motivated for training. He seems to thrive with structure, routine, and lots of love and cuddles.
Given his history, he does show some guarding behavior with things he knows he shouldn’t have, like a towel or remote, but we quickly learned the “swap” method, and he responds very well to it.
He had very little socialization before coming to me, so he’s been making up for lost time! He loves playing with my 2-year-old pup and mostly leaves my 10-year-old dog alone. I think he could do well with another playful dog, but if a family prefers a calmer household, then him joining a family with an older dog might be a better fit. I don’t know how he is with cats. He’s been great with older kids, but I don’t have experience with him around younger children and would probably recommend an older-kid/no kid household while he continues settling in and learning.
He’s up-to-date on vaccines and is neutered, CKC registered. Happy to travel within a reasonable distance to deliver.

Frequently Asked Questions
About
Basset Hound
Puppies
Is a Basset Hound the right dog for me?
Basset Hounds look bummed on the outside, but have a wonderfully clever personality on the inside. They use their adorable, pouty looks to get away with whatever they want and will make you laugh daily with their outrageous sense of humor. Basset Hounds love people and other animals, so be prepared to spend lots of time together. Full-grown, they typically weigh 40-65 pounds and stand 12-15 inches tall.
Are Basset Hounds friendly with strangers and kids?
Basset Hounds are generally excellent with children of all ages. If you don’t want a dog with an incredibly loud voice howling constantly, the Basset Hound need to be in a situation they can live inside with you. They love people, other dogs, cats, and children alike. They're fairly vocal dogs that bark regularly.
Are Basset Hounds high-energy dogs?
Basset Hounds like to go on long walks, but their favorite activity is following their nose wherever it may take them. Basset Hounds have an incredibly strong sense of smell, which makes them great competitors in tracking sports. They were born to hunt for as long as you’ll let them, so you generally won’t ever entirely wear them out. Overall, their exercise needs are moderate.
What should I expect with Basset Hound shedding?
Although the Basset Hound’s coat is very short, it does require daily brushing. Their hair sheds heavily, and if you want to reduce the amount you find around your house, these daily brushings will help. Some people think the Basset Hound’s oily coat gives off a bad smell, but that can be helped with regular baths. Grooming-wise, this breed is moderate.
What kind of home is best for a Basset Hound?
Basset Hounds are best suited for a house with a good-sized yard. If you don’t want a dog with an incredibly loud voice howling constantly, the Basset Hound need to be in a situation they can live inside with you. They also love to play outside and will follow any interesting scents they come across, so a home with a big backyard or a farmhouse is a good bet for a happy Basset Hound. They are moderately trainable with consistent effort.
Puppy Buyer's FAQ
See Full Guide Here
Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
Some states have lemon laws; others rely on contract law. Know your rights before you buy.
