~ Excerpts from The American Kennel Club Basset Hound Standard ~
.
The Basset Hound is a short-legged dog, heavier in bone, size considered, than any other breed of dog ~ The skin over the whole of the head is loose, falling in distinct wrinkles over the brow when the head is lowered ~ The muzzle is deep, heavy, and free from snipiness ~ The dewlap is very pronounced ~
~ The eyes are soft, sad, and slightly sunken, showing a prominent haw ~ The ears are extremely long, low set, and when drawn forward, fold well over the end of the nose ~ The forelegs are short, powerful, heavy in bone, with wrinkled skin ~ The paw is massive, very heavy with tough, heavy pads ~
 ~ The hindquarters are very full and well rounded, and are approximately equal to the shoulders in width ~ the Basset Hound moves in a smooth, powerful, effortless manner ~
