Is the Basset Hound a good breed for inexperienced dog owners to own?

Answer:

This breed is hard to train, but does not need much exercise. It needs a quiet lifestyle, preferably without noisy children, and can be stubborn. Other than that, the Basset Hound is quite an easy breed to own. They do not need much grooming and only need a half hour daily walk to remain happy. They do suffer from illness and health problems more than some other breeds so buy from responsible breeders. This would be a good breed for inexperienced dog owners.
