Basset Hound. Don’t laugh. Thats a full size dog on half size legs.
Ungodly loud bark that sounds like a dog 3 times the size.
Will absolutely tear apart the ‘lower extremities of an invader while being harder to hit due to height.
Can and will chase said invader through the roughest terrain barking all the while so you know where to go ‘find him’.
Sure they are all cute and slobbery. The next time you see one, have the owner show you the teeth in that bejowled mouth and think of the damage potential there.
We have friends who have owned Basset Hounds for many years. :)
Yup, our basset is a great guard dog, and if she misses something, are chi’s alert her.
On halloween, we set up in the driveway. A poor little girl tried going to the door, and the basset went off. I gave the poor little girl extra candy, she was so spooked by the baying.....
