Basschshund Activity Requirements
The Basseschund is a medium-sized dog who is confident, intelligent, and alert. They are descendants of European herding dogs and are an excellent companion, both at home and in the field. Most Basseschund owners report their dogs are calm and quiet. They are generally good with children and other pets, and they love to play, especially with children. While Basseschunds are not high-energy, they should be walked every day. Because of their small size, Basseschunds do best in homes with small yards. While they don’t need to be outside all the time, they do need to have regular walks. A home with a fenced yard is also ideal. While a Basseschund doesn’t need a backyard to run, they do need plenty of space indoors. They enjoy their owners and can often be found following them from room to room. If you are looking for a dog that likes to stay close to home, the Basseschund might be a good choice.
