Basset Hound now (4/14)

The comparison shows that the Basset Hound has become much lower, and its ears are much longer in comparison with the dog in the photograph of a hundred years ago. From the reduction of the hind legs, the dog got even bigger problems with the spine and hip dysplasia. Because of this, the animal quickly gains weight, which only exacerbates its disease. Constant eye problems – from glaucoma to ectropia (“cherry eye”). Big ears may look cute, but they cause great inconvenience to the dog.
