The Basset is probably a very old breed of dog, having been known to exist in France for several centuries (BARTON 1910). It was first brought into prominence in England by Sir EVERETMTI LLAIS, who imported from France in 1874 a famous Basset, called “Model.”
In “The dog” (1881 (?), p. 336), edited by VERO SHAW, appears a letter by MILLAIS in which is given a description of the Basset. The letter is undated, but it is clear from the context that it was written in 1880,thus being one of the earliest if not the earliest English description of the breed. To quote from the letter, “Colour of course is a matter of fancy, although I infinitely prefer the ‘tricolor,’ which has a tan head and black-and-white body.” In the same volume is a colored plate showing three prize-winning Bassets imported by GEORGER . KREHLin 1881.
All three have tan-and-white heads, with black patches on the back, but with the black running into tan on the hind quarters. KREHL wrote a description of the breed for “The dogs of the British islands”, edited by “STONEHENG(EJ”. H. WALSH1 886). He gave what he called the “Points of the Basset hound.” These were subsequently adopted by the Basset hound Club. Point 8 is, “The colour should be black, white and tan. The head, shoulders and quarters a rich tan, and black patches on the back. They are also sometimes hare-pied.' Rigure I represents what BARTONco nsiders a “typical smooth-coated Basset bitch.”
