Expert Answer

The Basset Hound is gentle and very loyal, getting along with all family members. It is also intelligent and trainable, with a keen nose and alertness that aid guarding. But it has a noticeable odor and a piercing bark that can disturb neighbors. It is energetic and needs much exercise. Finally, its large floppy ears easily get ear infections and mites, needing regular cleaning.
