Basset Hound Welfare

A charity which exists to both facilitate the resettlement of unwanted Basset Hounds and to assist by counselling, owners experiencing difficulties with their hounds.

‘People’s circumstances change, often quickly and unpredictably, and sometimes this leaves their poor hounds in need of fostering. These Basset Hounds can be of any age young and old.’

Information on Basset Hounds

U.K. Basset Hound Walks

We organise a program of walks in the South East throughout the year. Full details of these may be seen via our EVENTS page.

Most Basset Hound clubs organise regular walks, either themselves or, as is the case with the Basset Hound Club, through their branches. This means that with a little research walks can probably be found near to where you live.

The London & Northern Home Counties branch, the South West branch and the South East branch provide information on their websites if you are looking for walks in their areas. The full program of walks organised by the Midland branch can be seen on the Basset Hound Club website together with contact details.

bassethound-walks.co.uk is an excellent website publicising walks in the South West, for example from Cerne Abbas, Exmouth, Barbary Castle and elsewhere.

Wonderful pictures of Basset Hounds taken on past walks, they all look to have been great fun.

northeastbassets.webs.com A website created some time ago, after a fruitless search "on the internet for a club for the North East area" by its creator Michelle Brookes. Having had no success she decided to make her own, as she says "I own a Basset and I know she would love to make some Basset friends" adding "my biggest reason for making this website; Basset walks in the North East which I aim to organise every month."

There is a Basset Hound Club in the North East, the Hadrian Basset Hound Club, but it has no internet presence, so there is no readily available information on its activities. Perhaps this illustrates the importance of having a club website, the internet is now the preferred method of research for many people.

I hope that Michelle has by now succeeded in her quest.

Basset Hound Clubs Overseas

It is no surprise to find that Basset Hounds are popular all over the world.
