ʻAʻole hopohopo kekahi kanaka ʻōlohelohe e nānā i nā ʻīlio o ka puaʻa Basset Hound. "Pōleʻa liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi me nā pepeiao nui" - ke ʻano hoʻihoʻi wale ʻia kēia mau ʻīlio no ka moe ʻana ma ka moena a ʻoluʻolu hoʻi i kā lākou mau kahu me nā hoʻopunipuni ʻino. Akā ʻaʻohe mea i hoʻopunipuni like me ke ʻano o ka boundet hound.

I loko o kahi kākahu lōʻihi kahi hūnā ʻia kahi ʻīlio haki maoli ʻole, nona nā ʻano hana maikaʻi i loiloi ʻia a hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia e nā hui o nā ʻāina ʻelua.

ʻO nā kiʻi kiʻi mua o nā ʻīlio hopu manuahi i ka lā 16 a hiki ke ʻike i Farani, kahi o nā kūpuna o Basset Hound o kēia wā - hōʻike i ko lākou hiki ke holo me ka holo luhi ma ke ala o ke aʻalolo e hopu ana i nā puʻu. ʻO nā papa ikaika pōkole, ka mea, ʻo ia paha ka mea i kū ʻia ma muli o ka mutation a paʻa i ka wā o ka hoʻoulu ʻana, ʻaʻole ia he pilikia no nā kūpuna o nā ʻeke mohai hou, akā he mea kākoʻo i ka wā e holo ana i loko o nā ululāʻau, kōkua i ka hōʻemi i ka lepo ma lalo o nā lālā i hāʻule ʻia, e wāwahi i nā lua.

Hoʻolaha i ka hoʻohana ʻana i kēia mau ʻīlio puaa a mai kahi kahu manu i huli ai i mau beagles no kahi pāʻani liʻiliʻi: nā pīpī, nā pheasants, nā raccoons. ʻO nā mea maoli, ua hoʻohana wale ʻia nā bassets ma ke kuʻi wāwae wāwae, me ka hiki ʻole ke kū i ka wikiwiki o nā lio. Hiki i nā mea hauʻoli ke kapa ʻia he mau Wīwī - Count Lekure a me Monsieur Lana, nāna i hana kolohe i ke koho ʻana i kēia mau ʻīlio manu. A ke hopena, aia nā lua subspecies o ka hua, i kapa ʻia "basset Lekure" a me "basset Lana."

I nā 60s o nā XX kenekulia, ua kū nei kēia mau lua Farani ma ʻEnelani. Maanei, ua hoʻoholo nā ʻano hana i nā puhani Farani e hoʻoikaika a hoʻomaka e kāla i ka Basset me nā kahakaha kipa. No laila loaʻa ka huaʻōlelo i ka inoa hou o "Basset Hound", ʻo ia ke ʻano ʻo "low hound" a me ka ʻano maʻamau no mākou - he kino lōʻihi me nā wāwae pōkole a me nā pepeiao nui. I ka makahiki 1883, ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka "Basset club" ma ʻEnelani, nāna i wehewehe mua a kau aku i nā hana maʻamau o ka Basset Hound breed, a i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kenekulia 20, ua ʻike ʻia nā nūhou ʻo Basset e nā hui cynological mua honua.
