Tell me the pros and cons of owning this breed

My husband and I are about to pull the trigger on a basset hound puppy. I’ve been doing a ton of research and it seems like the perfect fit for our big family (2 adults 6 kids) but I’m hoping for personal experience with this breed. What are the pros and cons? I know they can be prone to ear infections if cleanliness of them isn’t maintained and they can have hip issues and back issues. I’ve also read that they can be very stubborn and hard to train. Is that true? Why should we or shouldn’t we get this breed? Just curious what to expect 🙂 thank you!
