Character:

The character is docile, smart, intelligent and loyal, with a keen sense of smell, second only to the best among dogs. Bajido is often likened to the role of a clown, entirely because of its appearance and expression. In fact, Bajidu is a very sensitive, intelligent, and very loyal family member. Bassetos are mild-mannered, enjoy playing with children, and get along easily with others. Bassetos like to wander, need a lot of exercise every day, and have their own opinions. Their IQs are relatively high, and proper training can make them very obedient. The Basset's temperament is suitable for keeping in an apartment, and it is a loyal family member, so it is easy to get along with any member of the family and get along well. It can also be used for hunting, tracking, obedience, and more. Its only downside is that it sometimes makes some very low growl, especially when left alone at home. If you are a very persistent and clean-minded person, it will not be an ideal boy for you, because it drools a lot of time. In terms of daily care, the most troublesome place is its long ears, because its velvety ears fall off and lack air circulation, which is very easy to cause ear inflammation. It must be cleaned every day. Aside from its ear problems and drooling, it's basically a very easy to care for.
