The modern Scent Hounds are very much different as compared to the older one. Now they look more chubby, has a curved back and droopier eyes. With time its leg has only shortened. These all qualities altogether makes it incompetent to serve as the hunting companion but they still like to go out and practice its old habit of sniffing. Not just that, their state has only worsened as they have become predisposed to the vertebral disease. They also develop eye problems like entropion and ectropion. Just few time ago only the scientists found out that the reason behind the Basset’s body shape is their growth hormone. They can run incessantly for hours without getting tired. They don’t need anyone else to entertain themselves, they are more than enough to do so all by himself.
