History of the Basset Hounds

As the story is described in all the textbooks on basset hounds, I will try to show this in a pictorial representation.

The true breeding Bassets´ French origin begins in England in 1866, when Lord Galway imported two dogs from the breed of the Basset Couteulx Le Count de Canteleu from northern France and began breeding bassets with this type Basset d'Artois.
