Bassets have a few traits that make them a little different from other dogs:
Smart but stubborn. They don’t score well for trainability.
Skin issues! Ears must be cleaned regularly.
Diet issues! Often prone to stomach issues. Need a quality diet to keep healthy and avoid weight gain.
Bassets are second only to the Bloodhound for sense of smell. If the dog finds an interesting smell, it is likely to not hear you– it’s on sensory overload and busy!
Due to its long body, it is prone to back issues. No stairs!
Not great swimmers– not because they can’t swim, but they’re so heavy, keeping their heads well above water is not as easy for them. If you are planning an aquatic outing, get your dog a life-jacket.

Hey there! Someone in my Facebook group shared this site with us so I came to take a look. I’m definitely enjoying the information. I’m bookmarking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Fantastic blog and terrific design.
You have NO IDEA how this touches me, truly! This means a lot. I’m very grateful for the encouragement. For a couple years the only response I got was spam about web site design. 😦 Do you have a Basset or Bassets? They’re such a mess. I’ve got two barking at me this very minute… about to lose my hearing. Be well, and many thanks again! (And if you know any readers, Monkey Mind is a funny series where Haint has a Basset sidekick, Naughty Britches. )
Howdy! Would you mind if I share your blog with my myspace group? There’s a lot of folks that I think would really appreciate your content. Please let me know. Thanks

Sorry for the delayed response. Had someone spam me up — took a while to sort. Yes, of course! Happy to share!
