The bassett hound is a low-to-medium maintenance dog. Keep in mind that hounds slobber much more than other breeds. The No. 1 reason people give up their bassets is because they drool too much. (The No. 2 reason is that the dog got bigger than expected.)

on 5/27/2008 my basset ran away a few hours ago. he and her brother stay outside in a very large fenced in area. he loves us very but we have no idea where he ran to. and i stayed outside for hrs calling for him and walked up the trail behind our house where we always walk him. are they good to return? i hear their not because they keep there noses to the ground and dont observe their surroundings and when they get off the scent trail they tend to get more lost. has anyone ever had this happen? we live around alot of woods- im just worried he wont come back and im very sad and dread telling my children that mickey ran away

on 8/9/2007 I got my Basset Tanner from the local animal shelter. I had, 2 months prior , lost my best friend Bumpers ( My cocker Spaniel of 15 1/2 years). I never thought I could love another dog like I did Bumpers. But Tanner is the most wonderful, loving creature. He has healed my heart. Bassets are wonderful, sweet, comical, loving, playful, and will steal your heart away too.

on 8/8/2007 My family was adopted by our basset on july 22, 2007, he was strolling down the center of the west bound lane on hwy 84. We didn't have any pets at the time and my wife was dead set against having any. However I knew he would get hit in the road if I didn't pick him up, so against my better judgement I did. Oh, man he was nasty, he smelled really bad and all his white spots were brown, and I had never seen so many fleas before. I brought him to my house and put him in the yard awaiting my fate upon my wifes return. When she came home to my surprise she said we could keep him. We named him Slump, and I must say he has been the best pet we have ever had.

on 4/7/2007 I have a basset/beagle and her name is lola, she is a very sensitive dog ,my mom and i think she may have been abused from her previous owner. One of my moms avon customers neighbor had lola after her previous owner and they had her tied up to a rope on a log and only a little room to go and do what she needed to to so my mom told me about her and i really wanted her so we went to get her and i fell in love with her,she didnt have a name so i named her lola after lola in zoey101. Lola loves me so much that everywhere i go she follows me like when i go to school she always wimpers and i get sad. my mom taught her not to jump on the bed so instead of doing that she spends most of time playing with her doggie toy, to answer anyone you should probaly put doggie perfume on him you shoul try walmarts,petsupermarket,and any other locxal stores.
love,joy
