Always looking for food
Basset hounds are always in search of food. Unlike other dogs, they are ruled by their noses, and can find the smallest piece of food even if it is hidden under a couch. One of my three bassets in particular loves to eat. If I go into the kitchen, he is there in an instant. He will crowd my legs, in hopes that I will ether trip, or will drop something on the floor for him.
Bassets are also known for "counter surfing" -- they have the ability to grab anything left on the counter. My one chow hound loves to steal bananas. If I leave a bunch of bananas on the counter, he will take them, eating the peel and all.
Who knows why basset hounds are such chow hounds, but if you make the mistake of leaving food on the counter, know that the basset hound will not only find it, but will eat it before you will notice it missing.

I have two bassets - a 6 year old and 9-month old. Always looking for food is an understatement! The 6-year old sleeps about 20 hours a day, rising only to eat, go out for a brief spell and then bark at the puppy who is chewing on his ears. How this "out cold sleepy" hound dog can here me bit into a piece of cheese from 3 rooms away I'll never know! But he does and there he is, Johnny on the spot, right under my feet, demanding his share.
