Founded in 1933, the Basset Hound Club of America brings together people who share a genuine love for the Basset Hound—its charm, character, and unmistakable spirit. Whether you are a longtime breeder, an exhibitor, or someone who simply adores the breed, BHCA welcomes you into a community dedicated to celebrating, protecting, and promoting Basset Hounds. Through education, events, and AKC-sanctioned activities ranging from conformation to field trials, agility, obedience, scent work and tracking, the Club supports responsible stewardship of the breed while fostering friendships and shared passion among Basset lovers across the country. We invite you to join us and be part of the future of this remarkable hound.
