The Basset Hound was harder to raise than the Labs. While a Lab lives to please YOU, a Basset lives so you can please HIM, LOL!
As I type, the Lab is laying at my feet, adoring me...the Basset is snoozing on the couch. ;)
I have got 3 of the hardest headed bassets ever. We rescued all three of them. My last rescue was a little girl last year (I just had to have the little girl with the long ears and droopy eyes).
Took us 8 months to house train her, and just like that, not a single accident.
With my pair, I'm mostly the momma duck.
I bathe with 2 dogs on the side of the tub.
I sleep with 2 dogs on the side of the bed.
I do laundry with 2 dog's head's stuck in the dryer.
I cook with 1 dog between my feet and one right behind me.
