Dog breeds: Basset Hound
The Basset Hound is a loving, happy-go-lucky dog that makes a great family pet. They also respond well to other animals. The only thing you have to watch out for is male aggression towards other male dogs. In addition to making a great family pet they also work well as a watch dog. To care for this breed you will need to brush their coat on a semi-regular basis. You will need to pay more attention to their ears. Because they have long floppy ears you will need to make sure that they stay clean. Some of the health issues that you will need to keep your eyes open for include obesity, spine problems, leg problems, ear infections, bloating, and skin infections. If you have a female Basset Hound who is going to have puppies you should plan for them to be delivered by cesarean section.
