DESCRIPTION: The Basset Hound Breed Standard and Terminology is a workbook program designed to help breeders, owners and judges develop a deeper understanding of the official AKC breed standard for the Basset Hound. Breed standards verbally describe the ideal specimen of each breed. By carefully studying the Basset Hound standard and doing the workbook exercises, Basset breeders, handlers and new judges will gain greater familiarity with the Basset Hound and how to prioritize virtues and weaknesses in this breed.  A Certificate of Completion is sent to those completing this course.

TABLE OF CONTENTS: The contents of course #103 are in three parts:  (1) part one is a copy of the official AKC Breed Standard for the Basset Hound; (2) part two is a glossary of terminology which is critical for an in-depth understanding of this breed; (3) part three is a drawing of the parts of the Basset Hound, where each feature is identified and described using wording directly from the breed standard.  Following each of these sections is a series of workbook exercises designed to help the reader learn the information.  Workbook exercises use easy to answer formats like true and false, fill-in-the blanks, multiple choice and matching questions. Students who complete the exercises can receive a Certificate of Completion from the Basset Hound Club of America.

CD TEMPLATE: The CD Template for this course is in Powerpoint and is designed to be copied by anyone who wishes to design a similar course for any other breed of dog. Because all breeds revolve around the AKC Standard, the design and layout of this course can be used to develop a similar course for other breeds.
