Bassett Hounds for Sale: Rescue Groups to Breeders
It is not uncommon to find a wide range of prices for Bassett Hounds in the
I decided to look up some information on Bassett Hounds and do some serious research on what they really cost to purchase. I set up as scientific a project as I could and still keep some balance in my life. Then spent many hours compiling all the data from 5 different online classified sites that cover cities all over the
The prices I found ranged from eighteen “free” dogs all the way up to $1200 for two of the 451 Bassett Hounds for sale on these sites. I have tried to break it down so you can get a real feel for what you might expect to pay. I have not only given you the range but statistically what you are more likely to find. By the way, I really did do all this research, it wasn’t done for me and I certainly didn’t make it up.
Here is a chart showing the price for each category, the number of dogs in that category and the percentage of the total for each price.
Let me try to explain what you are looking at. The graph on the right shows the same thing as the chart on the left. The dogs priced from 0 to 50 dollars in the upper section of the chart are represented by the black bars on the left side of the graph. The red numbers on the chart and the red bars in the graph represent the price range of 100 to 500 dollars. Finally the black numbers at the bottom of the chart from 600 to 1200 dollars are represented on the right side of the graph in black.
So what does this mean for someone that wants to buy Bassett Hounds? First, it is possible to get one of these dogs for free if you look for it. Statically there is almost a 4% chance that you will find a free dog in this breed and almost a 10% chance you will find a dog under $50.
Secondly, the middle range represented in the red numbers and the red bars are where you will find the most dogs by far. This is the price range of $100 to $500 and represents 76% of the 451 dog ads surveyed. So chances are very good you will find what you are looking for in this range. Over 3 of 4 dogs advertised were in the red range
Finally, we can conclude that if you want to pay a lot for a dog you certainly can. As high as $1200 in this survey of 451 dog ads. There is a 0.44% chance you can find a dog and pay $1200 for it but I tell you this, at that price it better be a rarely superior representation of the breed and in my opinion come with some expensive red ribbon tied around it.
The result of this survey has proven to us that you can rest assured that no matter what your budget, there is a perfect dog for you. Just keep your nose to the ground and you will absolutely find the perfectly priced Bassett Hounds if you just “sniff” them out.

A very enlightening article on the potential cost of buying a Bassett Hound. With all of the work you put into your research, you should submit the article to any number of dog, animal, or vetrinarian magazines.
I would be remiss if I didn’t add a note asking that people be very careful if they do purchase a Bassett Hound and make sure you are not buying a dog from a “puppy mill” situation. The conditions for the dogs at these places are horrible and frequently the dogs sold from them have health issues.
in addition to the comments about cautions of buying puppies from “puppy mills” is the flip side. I currently have six female puppies, born in late September. I am very concerned about finding homes for these beautiful puppies that i have grown very attached to. I would rather keep all six of these babies myself as apposed to not knowing if giving and/or selling them to someone that would give them a loving home and care for them as i would. the important thing to me is that they are loved and cared for ,not the money from the sale of them!

Thanks for your comment Wendy. Good luck finding homes for your bassett hound puppies. It makes me sick when I hear of a puppy mill and worse when I see the people that make a living off any breed of animal that they are abusing. Hopefully people will someday wakeup to the need to know and support good breeders or just choose to rescue instead.
