The Papo Basset Hound figure captures the Basset Hound's iconic features with precision, including its long, droopy ears, sad and soulful eyes, and prominent, wrinkled skin. The elongated body and short, sturdy legs are depicted with accuracy, emphasizing the breed's unique proportions. The coat is painted in a realistic tri-color pattern, with shades of black, white, and brown, reflecting the typical coloration of Basset Hounds.
Each wrinkle and fold of the skin is carefully sculpted, adding to the lifelike quality of the figure. The expression on the figure's face is gentle and slightly forlorn, characteristic of the breed's naturally mournful look. The stance is relaxed, yet alert, capturing the Basset Hound's curious nature.
The Papo Basset Hound measures approximately 2.5 inches.
Basset Hounds are a breed known for their exceptional sense of smell and distinctive appearance. Originating in France, they were initially bred for hunting small game, particularly rabbits, due to their keen nose and ability to track scents over long distances. Basset Hounds are characterized by their short legs, long bodies, and droopy ears, which help trap scents close to the ground. Their sense of smell is second only to that of the Bloodhound, making them excellent trackers.
Typically weighing between 40 to 65 pounds and standing around 14 inches tall at the shoulder, Basset Hounds have a solid and sturdy build. Their coat is short, smooth, and dense, often seen in a variety of colors, including tri-color (black, white, and brown) and bi-color combinations. The breed's loose skin, particularly around the face and neck, gives them a distinctive wrinkled appearance, adding to their unique charm.
