Iconic thanks to their long bodies, short legs and low set ears, the Basset Hound is a family favourite. Originally bred for hunting by French monks in the Middle Ages, the Basset Hound became a true leader during fox hunting as their low set bodies and long ears allowed them to enclose the scent, whilst his elastic skin gave him projection under the thick undergrowth. Crafted and cast from aluminium and finished in a beautiful brushed gold finish, this dog sculpture is a wonderful addition to any garden, patio or pond setting.Highly detailed throughout from his button nose, to long ears and wrinkled legs and feet, this sculpture is perfect for owners, lovers and breeders of this wonderfully iconic breed.
