Shasta is a good example of a red and white Basset Hound male. His head shape, ears (placement length, and shape) are very good. His stance, bone thickness and jaw set are very good. his highly domed head is covered with loose skin. Though not the heavy type of Basset, he is very athletic and everything you might expect to see in a Basset Hound. He is aggressively happy, very playful, highly inquisitive, and loves everyone.
Shasta receives full marks when compared to the AKC standard and the one-half point for beauty. This is a very good example of the American Basset Hound and might be bred providing that rights to breed her are secured in advance. If paired with the right male he might sire very fine pups.
Five and one-half points of six possible points, the half point loss being purely subjective, means that there is not much likelihood that he will become a best of show contender. But he is the best of the best for someone wishing to gain a great Basset Hound companion. He seems to possess the working Hound nose traits which might be developed into a working dog.
