Are Basset Hounds aggressive?

No, Basset Hounds are generally not aggressive. However, like any dog, they may exhibit aggression if they feel threatened or fearful. Early socialization and proper training are important to prevent aggressive behavior.

If you are concerned by any signs of aggression or reactivity in your dog, be sure to address it promptly with the help of a professional trainer or behaviorist. Pain, discomfort, or underlying medical conditions can sometimes contribute to changes in a dog’s behavior, so it may also be worth visiting a vet to rule out their health as a cause for signs of aggressive behavior.
