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.
Photo details: Nikon D300S. Nikon 300mm f/4. Focal length 420mm. ISO 400. 1/2000 sec. f/5.6.
