And if anyone here is considering A Basset because THEYRESOOOOOOOCCCUUUUTTTTEEEE!!!!
Well, yea. But having been OWNED (not a typo) by several over the years, I assure you. Yes they are. Funny? Yes they are. Good with kids? Yes they are....
And they are the most freaking STUBBORN things God ever...Let me rephrase that. The Basset Hound was placed on earth to test the patience of people Satan cannot win over.
I haZ no lie.
While I’m in rant mode on my favorite 4-legged subject, Allow me to futrher dispel the notion that a Basset is a ‘medium sized dog.
It is not.
It is a full-sized Bloodhound that the good Lord saw fit to attach 8 inch legs to. They are about 3 feet long nose to tush and weigh at least 50-60 pounds...for a small one,
Those ears everyone is so fond of drag in everything from poop to puddles and are a royal BiXXX to keep clean.
Those sagging jowels contain an ocean of chemical weapons known as dog drool and when they shake their heads, you will be cleaning your ceiling ...quite often actually.
Further more, you will be slowly but determinedly shoved off every chair you sit on, couch you lie on and bed you sleep in....even a California King. Because, stupid human, YOU are ALWAYS in the exact spot the Basset NEEDS to be.
I tell you this not to...well yes, to discourage you. Because you cannot find them for under about $1000 from a reputable breeder And As I want another one, I’m trying to drive the cost down any way I can ;)
All kidding aside however, they are prone some health issues (hip displasya) and they will rule your life 24/7/365.
They are not Basset Hounds, they are ATTENTION Hounds. And you better have enough people in your house to entertain them at ALL times...and thats after you train them.
Ha!
It didn’t work this time.
The dogs’ mouths are too full of bloody raw beef bones to leave room for howls...;D
