I am corn-fused..sighthounds (greyhounds and the like) don't use their nose, and bassets don't use their eyes as much as their nose, so are you saying he doesn't use his nose?

Beg to differ (politely).  I've owned Borzoi, Saluki, Scottish Deerhounds, and one little British Coursing Greyhound. I've run live game with all of them.

 

All of them have excellent noses and all of them will putter around  with their noses to the ground.  You can put tracking titles onto sight hounds.

 

They will sometimes hunt with their noses until game breaks cover and then they hunt by eyesight.  If they get unsighted during a hunt, they stand on their back legs, often leaping into the air to get their eyes higher, in an attempt to locate their quarry.  

 

Just because they use vision to hunt doesn't mean that their noses don't work quite well.

 

If you say "eyes of a Basset" to me, all I can think of is "droopy".

No, you are right, they CAN scent, but they generally use their eyes more, hence the term "sighthound"
