Basset Hound

If you don’t have a lofty amount of patience, Basset Hounds might not be the dog-breed for you. There’s always a scent they’re trying to find, so to say they get distracted easily is an understatement. They’ve also been known to be particularly difficult to housebreak. Maybe not to dog for the novice dog owner, but they’re more susceptible to listen to your commands if you have something tasty in your hand.
