Basset
Hound University (BHU) is a practical education concept
developed by the Basset Hound Club of America. The goal of
BHU is to provide home study programs in Basset Hound breed
education. The University is designed as an on-going school
of learning in which courses on owning, breeding, competing
and judging Basset Hounds are available year round. BHU is
dedicated to preserving the past and educating future

them at their own pace at home. BHU is designed to be used
as a model for parent clubs of all breeds of dog.
