Edward and His Beloved Basset Hounds: A Royal Connection to the Ancestral Breed This photograph captures King Edward VII (1841-1910) of the United Kingdom with his cherished Basset Hounds, a breed he was deeply fond of. Taken in the early 1900s, the image offers a glimpse into the monarch's personal life and his affectionate relationship with these lovable dogs. Basset Hounds, known for their short, sturdy legs and long, droopy ears, have a rich history that dates back to ancient Egypt. However, it was in 16th-century France that the breed gained popularity, particularly among the French nobility. The breed's distinctive appearance and excellent scenting abilities made it a favorite among hunters. King Edward VII, who ascended to the throne in 1901, was an avid hunter and a passionate dog lover. He owned several Basset Hounds throughout his life, and this photograph showcases his deep connection with these dogs. The image depicts the monarch in a relaxed setting, sitting on a chair with one of his Basset Hounds lying at his feet, while another one gazes at him with unwavering loyalty. The photograph not only highlights the king's love for the breed but also sheds light on the historical significance of Basset Hounds. The breed's long and illustrious history, from ancient Egypt to the royal courts of Europe, is a testament to its enduring appeal. This photograph is an exquisite addition to any collection that celebrates the history of dogs and the special bond between humans and their canine companions. It is a poignant reminder of the joy and companionship that dogs bring into our lives, and the enduring connection between the ancient breeds and the people who have cherished them throughout history.
