Basset Hound Breed Information

Basset Hound 2008 Wall Calendar
Traditionally, Basset Hounds are rabbit hunting dogs, but with their gentle manner and easygoing disposition, they are also wonderful family companions. Take this dog on a walk, and with its keen sense of smell and distinctive bark, it will be sure to let you know if it's found something interesting in the hedge. Long, floppy ears, standing tails, low bodies—these dogs are irresistibly cute. Bassett Hound fans, search no more. You’ve found your calendar for 2006.
