That was good. We got through that together. It is important to note that basset hounds were bred to be hunting dogs. Their stature close to the ground helps sniff our pray and clearly hunt for our hearts — our’s fell out while searching for photos. They can live on average up to 11-12 years, giving you and your family pure joy. Now that you know all of this, you can dive into another round of photographs.
Here’s a baby floopears.

Whew! Quick break for more facts: The signature ears that flop around are prone to infections. It’s not all fun and games! Small puppies can sometimes bite down on their ears as they eat food, or even step on them as they run. This sounds pretty intense but wouldn’t you giggle seeing a puppy trip over their own ears?
Dogs that are half-ear are extra pettable

Okay. We need a cup of coffee and some Internet rage to calm down from all the cuteness. Let’s just be so grateful that Instagram is full of people who love their pets and everything about this specific breed of animal. Basset hounds are the best.
