Welcome to the website
The Basset Hound Club was re-formed in 1954 and its main functions are to look after the interests of the Breed, to promote classes at Shows and to hold Shows at Open and Championship level, to support working meets and to foster friendliness and co-operation between Members whether they are interested in Showing or purely in one particular Hound as a pet. Membership of the Club includes free Third Party Insurance cover for members and their hounds on a BHC organised event ie. a Show or Branch Functions including walks.
The Club's Newsletter, the first of which appeared in 1957, together with the newly launched Website helps to keep members informed of events in the Basset world in general and in particular of other's activities and opinions at home and abroad. A Record Book is issued at intervals.
There are Branches of the Club in various regions of the country and members of the Club are entitled to join these on payment of a small additional annual membership fee. The Branches hold various functions in their areas, guarantee classes at local Open Shows and some publish Newsletters for their Members. A list of Branches Secretaries can be found in the Club Newsletter and on our Website.

Basset Hound Survey 2011
Follow the link for the survey and please take the time to get involved. There are two survey forms (you need only complete one) with all being returned to the same address shown on the form. We are all working towards the goal of producing the healthiest Basset Hounds we can and as this is the first joint health effort by all the clubs this survey should help us determine the most important problems to tackle. You will note that we have asked for forms to be returned even if a Basset does not have any of the conditions listed - this is important as we need a good tally of healthy Bassets as well as those with the odd problem. The survey is in PDF format, so go ahead, view it, print it, complete it;
