Basset Hounds are way down at #33. It looks like they've been dropping in popularity over the past 10 years.

"Among breeds on the decline are the Lhasa Apso (-80%), Rottweiler (-76%), Schipperke (-75%) the Basset Hound (-66 %) and, despite its popularity in Sacramento and San Diego, the Miniature Pinscher (-75%)."

Actually, this is very good news. The less popular a breed is, the less likely puppy mills are to produce them.......

Yes, I'm quite happy with this.

Bassets are a "unique" breed, not suited to everyone.
