The Basset Hound is a breed of dog introduced in Nintendogs + Cats.
Breed Information
The Basset Hound was originally bred to help track and hunt rabbits, hares, and pheasants. Their short legs were bred in so that hunters could keep up with their spirited dogs, making Bassett Hounds popular among hunters who could not afford the upkeep of horses to keep up with faster hounds.
