I have a Basset Hound and I just love him to pieces. Never thought I’d like the breed, but I won him in a poker game, so I was stuck with him, LOL!
I look down at him sometimes, ruffle his GORGEOUS ears and say, “Rufus! God put your paws on sideways!” So now I know why he’s such a stub. ;)
Amazingly, he’s not much of a digger, but he goes for long walks with me; he’s not a total couch potato.
We also had a black & tan dachshund when I was a kid. Nice dog; very obedient, very protective of us kids.
My mom and stepdad have a basset named Fred and that dog is like a rock star. Every where they go, people are always hugging on him, kissing him. It’s insane. My 2 year old loves to use him as a pillow and she loves to hear him bark. Makes her giggle hysterically.
