I had never heard of that until I moved to Texas. The group we got our
Gus from said the same thing about him since his neck fur is a tiny bit
longer, coarser and curls a bit. I haven't found any thing about it
written down so I'm clueless as well. All we know is he's a basset,
acts like a basset, talks like a basset, etc..... just like the others
do ;)<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">"2. Can somebody tell me
what a “long-haired”
Basset is? Background – in the fall the Basset Hound Nationals were
held here in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Plano</st1:City>,
<st1:State w:st="on">Texas</st1:State></st1:place>, and my girls and I
took part in the “Parade
of Rescues.” Well, we’re hanging around the hotel before the
rescue parade, talking to various people (yes, I’m a yacker), and a
couple said something about Gracie being a “long-haired” Basset.
Which doesn’t make sense to me, she’s got a normal, short, very
shiny coat. Except what I call her ruff (area around her neck and in
between front shoulders) is a touch longer and sort of curls a bit, but
no
other areas. Anyone??"<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
