Basset Hounds are adorably goofy looking dogs if you ask me.

The Basset Hound has ears that are longer than its legs. That really does not bode well for a gracefully moving dog like I imagine.

Lots of loose saggy baggy skin all over the body.

Face with skin and jowls hanging loose.

Feet that seem larger than a dog of that stature would require.

Basset Hounds seem to lumber along with more effort that a small dog should require.

This image captures quite a noble look of Basset Hound look as one moves across the show ring.

I think that capturing the photo at just the right moment as the dog is in motion helps create this look.
