History & Origin of the Basset Hound
Basset Hounds come from French low-set scent hounds later refined in Britain. Their short legs let hunters follow on foot while the dog worked scent close to the ground. The breed's deep voice and steady nose remain key traits.
Basset Hound Price in India
In India, Basset Hound prices vary with breeder reputation, city, age, colour demand, health testing and whether KCI papers are provided. Very low prices can mean poor breeding, weak vaccination records or uncertain parentage.
Caring for a Basset Hound in India
Basset Hound does well with steady walks, play and sensible weight control. Brush weekly, check ears and nails, and increase coat care during shedding seasons. Use measured meals and avoid frequent table scraps, because small dogs gain weight quickly. In most Indian cities, provide shade, fresh water and avoid strenuous activity during hot afternoons.
