Basset Hound fun facts

Fun Facts:

Basset Hounds were bred for hunting small game over challenging terrain. Their powerful noses and sense of smell, second only to Bloodhounds, are aided by their extremely long ears, which were bred to be so long that they could help trap in scents.

The word "basset" comes from the French term "low-set."

A Basset Hound played Columbo's dog on the long-running detective series Columbo. His name? "Dog."
