When shopping for a Basset, be aware that the Basset has a large head, held up proudly, with numerous wrinkles covering the forehead and extending from the sides to the face. The eyes are dark in color, almond-shaped, and sunken, showing a scowling expression.

Secondly, you need to pay attention to the coat of the Basset. The extremely rough coat of the Basset is one of its unique characteristics. The coat is absolutely straight and erect on the main body, but generally the hair on the extremities lies flat and slightly flat.
