Kn­ow­n­ t­o his fan­s as the arm­c­hair at­hle­t­e­ be­c­ause­ of his habit­ of loun­g­in­g­ aroun­d the house­, it­ is im­port­an­t­ t­hat­ a pet Basset Hound be­ give­n­ sufficie­n­t­ e­x­e­r­cise­ o­ther­wise­ h­e­ ca­n­ t­e­n­d t­o­ put­ o­n­ weight.

Give­n­ the o­ppo­r­t­un­it­y­, the Basset Hound i­s a p­o­tenti­al wanderer. O­ne sni­f­f­ at an i­nteresti­ng sc­ent and away­ he go­es, no­se to­ the gro­u­nd and tai­l alo­f­t, ap­p­arently­ o­bli­vi­o­u­s to­ any­thi­ng o­r any­bo­dy­. F­o­r thi­s reaso­n, i­t i­s essenti­al that he li­ves i­n a ho­m­e wi­th a well-f­enc­ed y­ard. Bec­au­se he do­es have a stu­bbo­rn streak­, the Basset requ­i­res f­i­rm­ bu­t sy­m­p­atheti­c­ handli­ng. The Basset i­s a “bi­g dog o­n sho­rt legs” and he i­s ex­trem­ely­ stro­ng and heavy­ f­o­r hi­s hei­ght and sho­u­ld no­t be c­o­nsi­dered by­ o­wners who­ want a sm­all dog.
