Basset Hound Gift

Any Basset Hound owner would be glad to get a Basset Hound gift. All owners of these wonderful dogs are infatuated by their pets. The beauty of this breed is not only in its unusual appearance, but also in its friendly and easy-going personality. Basset Hounds are usually kept as family pets and playing companions for children. They are very people-oriented and devoted to their owners. The quick wit and quiet personality of a well-trained Basset Hound are the most desirable features most people look for in a pet.

It’s easy to find a Basset Hound gift in gift stores or order it online. Since the image of the breed is well-known, it’s impossible to mix it up with some other breed. Even those who never owned a Basset Hound know how these dogs look like. The hallmarks of the breed are its long body, short legs and large head. The wither height of the Basset Hound is only 12-15 inches, but the common weight of an adult dog is 50-70 lbs. The head and neck of the Basset Hound have much loose skin, which causes the dog to look sad and adds to the breed’s charm. The ears are long and pendant; the eyes are large and round, with a quiet, intelligent expression. The tail is long and tapering, curving upright.

Since the Basset Hound can be of any color, the color of the Basset Hound gift doesn’t matter much, as any coat color and pattern will correspond to the breed standard. However, most Basset Hounds are tricolor (black, white and tan) or spotted (red spots on white fur or solid red with white feet and tails.) Gray and blue Basset Hounds are very rare. Such colors are undesirable, but accepted by the breed standard.

Any Basset Hound owner and breeder has many pictures of these wonderful dogs and can tell many funny stories about their intelligence and sense of humor. Devoted owners are fond of making scrapbooks about their pets. It’s easy to make a calendar with pictures of a Basset Hound dog. A hand made item will be a precious Basset Hound gift for an owner or breeder.
