He may be best known as the Hush Puppy dog, but the Basset Hound is much more than an advertising icon.
With his placid personality and short-statured yet noble appearance, the Basset Hound is a popular family companion, as well as a slow-paced but keen hunting dog.
It’s been often said that dogs are the only creatures on earth that love you more than they love themselves. Well, Basset Hounds are no exception!
But sometimes, we take our furry friends and wonderful companions for granted. There are important life lessons that are sometimes easy to forget in our hectic lives, that all Basset Hound owners must never forget.
If we want to pay back the favor and give them the best life possible, these 20 important reminders should serve you well as awesome Basset Hound owners. The last one (#20) brought me to tears…
Check out the 20 Things All Basset Hound Owners Must Never Forget on the next page:

Ok I cried on #20 too.. love my basset hound everyday, I talk her ears off, (no small feat) she is hugged every morning and a good night hug evety night. Invited up to bed, greeted everytime I walk through the front door. Held my last lady as she passed away at 15 years old. Miss her, but there was and always will be room in my heart to rescue again.

I’ve had Basset Hounds for 25 years. If the day ever comes that I’m not able to have a Basset, that’s the day I’ll lose my will to live. They are my babies and bring me so much joy. That’s my little girl Gracie in my profile picture lounging by the pool!
