I have a hound named Tracker and she is the best. But I was at Pets Mart and some lady said that those were the dumbest dogs. Why would I waste my money. :(

Nobody who actually knows bassets thinks this. They are too fricken smart for their own good.

Instead of looking at all the BAD things that happen with the breed..... Look at the GOOD things.....and what matches your life style... Beagles and Bassets are TOTALLY different kinds of dogs.... Bassetts, Have Easygoing Temperments, making males and females alilke excellent pets, given proper discipline and direction. They are strong-willed and intelligent, bred to work independently of humans BEAGLE: This energetic little hound is very alert, active and even tempered. The beagle is very outgoing, almost to a fault, and is constantly in need of companionship because it has been bred to be a pack dog.Although a highly intelligent dog and excellent problem solver, the typical beagle is easily distracted by scent and can quickly become bored

Lol! i babysit for a family that has a basset hound. i think they are THEE cutest things ever, his name was hendricks and he was so chubby and cute.
he was really stubborn and got in a lot of trouble, i don't think they are dumb i just think that they don't use their common sense. believe it or not, he actually set the house on fire. he was trying to get a pizza on top of the stove and jumped up and knocked the knob on the over, next thing leads to the box burning in their kitchen. it was really scarey!
well i hope i helped. BASSET HOUNDS RULE!
:D :D

I honestly don't know. I think basset hounds are a extremely lovable and intelligent breed.

Why do people make such broad assumptions?
Do "I" think that bassets are dumb? They aren't Border Collies, but they aren't the dumbest dog in the world.
I think that that hang dog face may lead people to jump to conclusions. . .
But, they are in the lower level of intelligence under one test:

Obviously, that one test only dealt with commands and knowledge of commands does not make a dog intelligent.

so many people mistake dumb dog with dumb owner.
Bassets are very stubburn and often tehy seem to train the owner so therfore the owner is the dumb one.
