both of these breeds from the United
Kingdom were previously used for hunting
and to track prey such as rabbits hares
deer and wild boar these breeds were
incredibly successful in this job as
they have an incredible sense of smell
in fact along with a bloodhound or the
Fox hound these breeds are known for
having the most developed sense of smell
beagle popularity has increased in
recent years the reason for this is
because they are not overly large dogs
they are intelligent obedient and it
have an easy coat to care for in
addition they are incredibly resistant
to diseases and tend to have fewer
respiratory and skin problems than other
dogs of a similar
but how can we differentiate them let’s
discuss the key clues both breeds have
large drooping ears but a beagles ears
are rather than and square in appearance
a basset is on the other hand are much
longer and can at times even hand until
its extremities as with many other dogs
of this type the skin of the Basset
presents numerous faults along the body
and even on the head of the animal
including the forehead area above the
eyes this give them an expression of
characteristic sadness despite being
cheerful animals this does not
necessarily occur in a beagle and the
absence of their wrinkles helps
distinguish them not only from the
basset hound but other hounds looking at
the body is one of the simplest ways to
distinguish a beagle from a basset hound
known by some as a Dashiell basses are
characterized by having an elongated
body and short legs
by contrast the appearance of the beagle
is more square someone less corpulent
and taller than Bassets facets are also
much larger and have folds in the skin
something that – one’s black color is
the main cause of confusion between
these two breeds since both are
tri-colored that meaning they can both
carry a coat that combines a white black
or fiery color it is quite common
however to find Bassets with two colors
white and fiery while it is uncommon for
beagles not to sport these tri colors
both dog breeds are intelligent obedient
and very easy to train in addition it is
extremely uncommon for a beagle and a
basset to have problems with
aggressiveness both breeds tend to be
affable even with strangers on the other
hand facets are somewhat more obstinate
and karma than beagles beagles
are more playful and active especially
when they are young on the other hand it
is possible that beagles are slightly
more intelligent in Bassets although
this depends a lot on the individual and
has been somewhat generalized so now

breeds if there are any other canine
