If you are planning on purchasing a Basset Hound as the newest member of your family, you will have a lot of questions about the breed. You will also want to learn about the Basset Hound Growth and their size. Basset Hounds can grow to be around 12 to 15 inches tall at their shoulders. They will also grow to weigh between 55 and 75 pounds at adulthood.
Basset Hounds can vary in size and the above is just an average. Many Basset Hounds will be smaller and many will be larger than the expected heights and weights. Basset Hounds can have problems gaining too much weight and becoming overweight. If you suspect that your Basset Hound may be overweight then you will want to take them to their vet for an examination.
You will want to give your Basset Hound enough exercise to help them stay at a healthy weight. They are not the most active breed of dog, so a slow walk around the block once or twice will be a good amount of exercise for the Basset Hound.
