Bassett hound and cats....

Hi! We have a Bassett Hound (5 years). She has been a great pet, but one problem that I just wrote off as her being a Bssett doesn't seem to fit the description of a Bassett.... She grew up with cats and seemed to be okay with them until about the last two years. I am pretty sure out other dog instigated the negative attitude towards the cats now, but I was wondering if this can be trained out of them. When I read about bassetts, it seems to make me think that they are usually gentle with other pets, but she is anything but gentle...She gets downright mean and harmful. Does anyone have any advice for training this behaviour out of her? Thanks for any info!! Dakotacc
