The Basset Hound is considered below average in working and obedience intelligence, ranking 71st out of 79 breeds studied. This places them in the "Fair Working Dogs" category, meaning they typically understand new commands after 25-40 repetitions and obey the first command 50% of the time or less. While a specific IQ score isn't available, their intelligence profile suggests strengths in memory (4/5) and social intelligence (4/5), but lower scores in problem-solving (2/5) and obedience (3/5).
