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!

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…

I’m trying to do all of the above. If she’d stop pottying in that cage we’d be golden.

Leisa Barron I was looking at old pics of him that Scott has- I’m sure they are on his Facebook. I’m thinking of getting another one, or a Rottie, or lastly looking at adopting from Spain

She looked into her eyes, and knew, After not being able to get up for a week, Midnight was saying, ” It’s Time” This is not a dogs life. Don’t keep me here just for you. I’m ready. As long as you are with me, I will be fine. I know it is hard for you, but think of me. Remember 15 years ago, when someone dumped me out in the ditch across the road from your house. MJ saved me. What a wonderful outcome to such a terrible act! I have had a blessed life. Thanks so much!! Midnight Craver

I have a basset that is almost 9. These are things that apply to every dog, not just a basset.

This boy is almost 9. He’s a trooper. His life started in a puppy mill and he survived eye cancer! Life with a basset hound is unexplainably richer.
