They can reach up to 60 pounds or more. Here is a website about the breed, read it so you have a better idea about the breed and if a basset hound would be a good idea to add to the family... Good Luck. http://www.basset-hound-dogs.com/basset-hounds-dogs-general-information.htm

It is hard to know the correct weight of a basset hound because the earth's gravity doesn't entirely effect the basset hound like it does with other dogs. If you weigh the basset hound and then weigh another dog of the same size, you will see that the basset hound weighs only half of what the other dog weighs. The only way to get the correct weight on the basset hound would be to weigh it on Jupiter.

Males are 50-65 pounds females 45-60 pounds. They are alot heavier than chihuahuas why not get a miniture daschund?

They say 50 to 60 pounds, but I knew one at the shelter I worked at who was at least 90. They are strong, and their weight is low to the ground, so if not trained, they can be tough to walk!
