Basset Hounds are instantly recognized by their long floppy ears and low-to-the-ground body structure. Originally bred as a game trailer in Europe, the Basset Hound came into fame in the US in the 50’s-60’s as the face of a popular shoe brand. Since then Basset Hound puppies have been stealing the hearts of millions just as they have stolen our hearts here at Sandyhill Basset Hounds.
