Basset Hound vs Field Spaniel

The Basset Hound is a heavy-boned, low scenthound with an exceptional nose, calm nature, and affectionate, sociable temperament. Independent and sometimes stubborn, it needs gentle, reward-based training, moderate daily exercise, secure fencing, and regular ear and skin care.

Medium, athletic gundog with a glossy, feathered coat and dark, expressive eyes. Calm yet enthusiastic, deeply attached to family and often sensitive. Needs kind, consistent training, regular exercise, and mental work. Still relatively rare, valued by dedicated enthusiasts.
