[Dailydrool] under a foot tall??

Actually, bassets should be under 15 inches at the top of the shoulder
blade.
Some tend to be taller. These are
generally the product of generations of breeding by people that are not
interested in producing anything but puppies - not puppies that adhere to
the standard. Occasionally I see a "basset" that appears
to be the result of out and out fraudulant registration practices such as
the ones that look exactly like coonhounds. But for the most part,
even the tall bassets are bassets and we love 'em just the same.
