i had a basset hound growing up, he was the sweetest most loveable bastard ever...they bark from the soul

and all the extra flappy skin and floppy ears...awesome!

[–]workpuppy 10 points11 points ago

American Bassett Hounds have the extra skin...French Bassetts are basically low-slung stretch beagles. They're bred to hunt rabbits, believe it or not. Fast as hell given their height.

[–]ragingnerd 6 points7 points ago

mine must have been a mix then, because he was low slung and stretched out, but had longer legs than looked normal and the extra skin...and he was definitely fast as shit for his height!

the squirrels used to fuck with him by standing just outside the range of how far he could reach when he was out on his run-line in our backyard, so one day i added an extra 3 feet of chain to his line...yeah, two shredded squirrels later they never fucked with him again! he was proud as hell that day

[–]SecondHandReader 0 points1 point ago

I have two French basset hounds, mine have some floppy skin. They do look like squashed beagles though.

[–]FOUR_YOLO 1 point2 points ago

as a basset hound, i can confirm this

[–]CyborgCraig 1 point2 points ago

We had six when I growing up; a mama, a papa, and four puppies. When I'd get home from school/ work, they'd line up at the fence and just howl and howl. I miss those fuckers, but they're in puppy heaven now.

[–]Dick_Serious 14 points15 points ago

Just a just justing.

[–]NeutronRocks 4 points5 points ago

This needs to be a rule.

Just stop using "just."

[–]motortheboats 7 points8 points ago

Perfectly captured the young puppy behind those peeled eyes.

[–]love_glow 1 point2 points ago

GET TO DA CHOPPA!!

[–]stamatt45 -4 points-3 points ago

Reddit used upvote! It's super-effective!

[–]thafighta 14 points15 points ago

[–]CartmanVT 5 points6 points ago

The landslide came unexpected, Maximus the Basset was war hardened, but nothing could prepare him for the sheer madness that would ensue. His legs were strong, but his skin floppy.

[–]CyborgCraig 0 points1 point ago

The derp is strong with this one.

JustJustJustJust Fuck off.

[–]pietasterkid 5 points6 points ago

As a basset hound owner I can confirm on the off chance they ever run it looks like this. Most of the time they sneak in your room and look like this: http://imgur.com/CqlNp

[–]lavender_lollipops 3 points4 points ago

all basset hounds should be name mr.wobbles. boy. girl. dosen't matter. mister fucking wobbles.

[–]Judge_Hate 3 points4 points ago

ERMAHGERD!

[–]Official_Shawn 1 point2 points ago

You get an upvote because it is your cakeday!

[–]Judge_Hate 1 point2 points ago

If I had a top hat i'd tip it.

[–]Heroin_HeroWin 2 points3 points ago

As the owner of two basset hounds, I can confirm this. It is the highlight of my day to get home from work and immediately get my dogs to start chasing me around the yard. Always puts a smile on my face.

[–]kingofthekastle 0 points1 point ago

derp

[–]WitchDr -1 points0 points ago

DERRRRRP!

[–]sofer6 -1 points0 points ago

Am I the only one that sees a head with a hat and a feather in it on the left side of the pic?

[–]CrazyDenae -1 points0 points ago

Nope. I see it too.

[–]Caden_Coda -1 points0 points ago

Needs to be posted to r/awww :D

[–]JingleBellsSwag -1 points0 points ago

Does this look like Paula Dean to anyone else?

[–]kgaragetech 1 point2 points ago

My girlfriend's Basset Hound is too old to run. He just looks high as fuck all the time.

[–]Vanabrus 1 point2 points ago

He looks so graceful

[–]redditwithafork 1 point2 points ago

Is that Honey Boo Boo's mom?

[–]ninjivitis 0 points1 point ago

I must really be in a bad mood because that didn't even make me smile :(

[–]AllwaysConfused 1 point2 points ago

We once had a basset that was so incredibly lazy - he was all flopped out in the sunshine one day when someone kicked over the cooler, spilling ice, cold water and canned sodas all over and around him. He didn't so much as flinch.

[–]fearthejaybie 0 points1 point ago

Not a basset hound guy myself, but have a cakeday upvote!

[–]shadytree1 -1 points0 points ago

OMG no wonder they never run.

[–]TheQuietGirl544 0 points1 point ago

Crazy dawg.

[–]Sneeker6789 -1 points0 points ago

He looks terrifying it looks like they're blowing wind

[–]agroundhere 1 point2 points ago

It's not what they do best. Ouch.

[–]btadeus 0 points1 point ago

no

[–]astropubs 1 point2 points ago

As a Basset Hound owner, I can confirm this is how dumb the dog's look when they run.

[–]grovemanjr 1 point2 points ago

basset hounds are the best dogs in the world

[–]1985jack000 2 points3 points ago

Looks like Chuck Norris uppercut his chin.

Edit: I just used a Chuck Norris joke, and its 2012. What the fuck is wrong with me!?

[–]boomboxdino 0 points1 point ago

Poor basset hound. Posted in /r/funny and not /r/aww.

[–]SquidsOverIceland 0 points1 point ago

Gatherer dogs.

[–]joealarson 0 points1 point ago

Looks like Two Face.

[–]negative-D 0 points1 point ago

This is pretty much what it feels like to run with your backpack on.

[–]Demojen 0 points1 point ago

Botox before and after shot.

[–]Hayes92 0 points1 point ago

stop saying just

[–]FezAndBowTie 0 points1 point ago

He looks like Two-Face. Harvey Dog.

[–]bbacher 0 points1 point ago

My boy Angus would always trip on his ears when he ran.

[–]redlion81 0 points1 point ago

Has gone plaid

[–]Pharose 0 points1 point ago

This isn't normal, we bred basset hounds to look like that, and yes there are very serious health consequences to having skin like that. Would you want to breed with a human who had skin that droopy?

The dogs themselves are cute but I consider the breeding of these dogs and the reverence of floppy skin to be animal abuse.

[–]stephenbawesome 0 points1 point ago

The folds and loose skin help it as a hunting dog. The folds and ears help a Basset pick up a scent better. The loose skin evolved from chasing animals through thickets and not getting hurt in pursuit or caught in thorns.

[–]RevWaldo 0 points1 point ago

Now I want to see a slo-mo of a Basset Hound being shot in the face with a bean bag round. Yes, I know that's wrong...

[–]FuzzyBobbles 0 points1 point ago

This is exactly why I, at age 55, am afraid to take up running again.

[–]mrcheeseweasel 0 points1 point ago

I fuckin love Basset Hounds!

[–]LatinoComedian 0 points1 point ago

I now know what Buddy Hackett would look like as a dog.

[–]hekmatov 0 points1 point ago

Actually it's shaking its head in a twisting motion like when dogs do to shake off water, hence the asymmetry between sides.

[–]Morvictus 0 points1 point ago

This is what I look like when someone tells me to smile for a picture.

[–]SirMothy 0 points1 point ago

Yep, he's da flappiest mofo

[–]Patsby 0 points1 point ago

this is the only thing i have laughed out loud at today

[–]Rexarms 0 points1 point ago

That's what I look like when I go for a run

[–]tevert 6 points7 points ago

That's what I look like when I have sex.

[–]Adontis 1 point2 points ago

Such a majestic creature.

[–]WXGirl83 1 point2 points ago

I just started working out on the treadmill. This is exactly how I feel I look whenever I turn it up to running speed.

[–]babylegs123 0 points1 point ago

Happy cake day!
