~ Back to Danish Blue Porcelain Plates Index ~The Basset Hound is of French lineage and has flourished for centuries in Europe where it was used chiefly for the slow trail of rabbits, hare, and deer. The first mention of the word "Basset" as applied to a breed of dog appears in an early text on hunting written by Fouilloux in 1585. The Basset Hound is sweet, gentle, devoted, peaceful and naturally well-behaved. They fit into family life well.
