This is just a test, to measure basset hound ears!
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and testing the length of your hound’s ear lovers! OK, this is just a test! I wanted to do just one ear to see how it went! How long are the Mayor’s ears? So, I had my friend Lisa take a picture of me just holding one of the Mayor’s ears out like this. It was in a somewhat relaxed position.
Then, I wanted to measure his ear. He has such delightful, heavy, long, beautiful, luscious, soft, and long ears. So I wanted to measure one of them.
I took a soft tape measure and placed the tip to his skull where the ear connects. I then pulled the tape out tight, but not the ear. I just left it in perfect position.
It measured 10”, almost perfectly! That is pretty impressive! What do you think?
As you can see from this picture that I cropped the tape measure is up side down!
It is the same exact picture as taken above, only cropped.
If you want, you can take your own pictures and I will start an entire sub blog for this. I think we should all follow the same format. Just lightly pull your hound’s ear like I am doing in the picture. Place the end of the tape measure to the skull right were the ear attaches. (cloths ones work better) and measure to the tip! If nothing else, it is fun and makes a great picture!
More having fun later with 10″ ears! Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

What kind of reception can you get with Chaps ears like that? 🙂
I can’t tell you how long Sophie’s ears are … she stole the measuring tape.
You go Sophie! Ha! I’ll measure Jethro’s and take a pic when I get time. They’ve been measured at a lot of basset events and I know they’re 10 inches or so. I can measure the others too but they’re much shorter.
