How to Become a Champion Basset Hound
To become a Champion Basset Hound, a dog must have a winning temperament. To achieve this, a hound must show good conformation. It must have a smooth, free gait with a strong thrust from behind. Its stifles and hocks should not be stiff, and its toes should not drag on the ground. A dog that has one or more of these faults cannot be considered for confirmation events. UKC must report the disqualification of the dog immediately.
A Basset hound can achieve great heights and weigh up to 80 pounds. The Basset hound is a loyal hunting dog with a strong pack instinct. They have long, thin legs and deep, melodic bark. They are protective of their homes, and they can hunt for days on end. Although they are tenacious hunting hounds, they do not display aggression. Its appearance can be intimidating to some people.
The American Kennel Club’s National Championship awards a $50,000 prize to the Best in Show dog. The breed originated in England, and the first dogs were gifts from the Comte de Tuornow to Lord Galway. The breed was recognized as an official dog in 1928 by the United Kennel Club. However, these dogs are not known to have any hunting history. They have been used for family pets and as pets. They need low to moderate exercise.
The BHCA has an extensive field trial schedule. The BHCA holds this event on Memorial Day weekend.
To earn the Best In Show, a hound must earn twenty points in the champion class in the St. Joseph Kennel Club. The Grand Field Champion may be used in advertising by the BHCA but not by the AKC. The Grand Field Champion title is awarded to a BHCA member hound that has achieved the highest score in the Group competition.
The Basset Hound breed is one of the most popular dog breeds in the United States. It is very intelligent and does not need much training. However, the dog is not the easiest to train.

The AKC champion is named for a drink, often a beer or a wine. Some breeders name their dogs after drinks they love, which makes it hard to pick a winner. The AKC also names the champion by the owner of the dog. The owner decides to name their dog the champion. It must have the correct name for the dog. It is the best way to gain an advantage in a competition.
The AKC has recognized Bassets as a breed since the 1880s. In 1916, the AKC recognized the breed as a single dog. In 1934, the Basset Hound Club of America was formed and held the first field trial. Seven Bassets participated in the trial, including a champion. The American Kennel Club’s rules are very similar. While the Basset Hound is the preferred type of hound in AKC trials, it must be recognized in the AKC.
