 Everett Millais, who is considered to be the father of the modern Basset Hound, bred one such dog, Nicholas, to a Bloodhound bitch named Inoculation through artificial insemination in order to create a heavier basset in England in the 1890s.The litter was delivered by caesarean section, and the surviving pups were refined with French and English bassets.The first breed standard for what is now known as the Basset Hound was made in Great Britain at the end of 19th century.
