Basset Hounds for You

I have 2 other big dogs as well, very playful. My basset doesn’t ‘play’ with them, instead he barks at them and tries to jump on them? He just barks, he doesn’t play, just barks. My family and I think it’s so adorable and it’s a cute quirk and I was just wondering if all other bassets do this.

My basset (female) (6 months old) was in her own bed and my misses tried to pick her up to bring her to our own and instantly went her with no warning growl, second time was when my basset was laying in our bed and my misses was patting her and put her head by her stomach and she growled and went her again (two different days, same week), would love some help or advice or reasoning for this behaviour
