Does the Basset bite? Does this dog have a good temperament?

Does Basset bite?

Whether Basset bites depends on the situation. Generally, dogs that are well educated by their owners have very good personalities and will not bite. But if threatened or attacked by a human, the Basset Dog may bite. Most Basset Dogs are very friendly, lively, and docile dogs. As long as you don't deliberately provoke them, they will not attack people for no reason. Therefore, novice owners can keep them with confidence.
