Any fellow Basset hound owners?

I have never owned a dog as a pet. I have always been a cat person, and my husband has birds, so those are the two pets we have had in our family. Lately my little boy has been saying that he'd really like to have a dog. I'm not ready to go there yet, but when he's a little bit bigger I think we will get a dog. Would you recommend basset hound for a small child? I was also thinking about a retired greyhound who used to race at the dog track. I have heard that they can be wonderful pets.

I have been a Basset owner for the past 10 years. They are the best dogs. My Basset is named Maxine. I got her when I was 21. I am now 31 and she has been a big part of my life. Alot of people say they are lazy dogs but I disagree. My dog is 10 years old and she is extremely active.

I became a basset hound owner about about a week ago, her name is Chloe. She's seven weeks old and just like a baby, I haven't gotten much sleep this past week. I have been trying to introduce her to the crate, so far so good. I'm used to the chewing, because we also have a beagle. She would chew everything when she was a puppy. Did it take a long time to house break your Basset? Or, I should say how long did it take to house break yours?

i have had basset hounds for 4 years. The smaller one is named Fred. He is red and 55lbs. He is the boss, and is mischevious and cheeky. The larger one is Max. He is a European, so he is a lot larger and weighs about 100lbs! He is so big and cuddly and has 11inch ears!

I have a basset Annabelle she is about 10 or 11 now and she is the best I just love the breed. She runs the house we also have a great dane/pit bull mix Jack that is 4 and he does whatever Annabelle says to do and it was his house first we got him at 4wks old and she was 5 or 6 yrs old when we got her.

Yup! I have had and bred basset hounds on and off for 41 years and I LOVE them to bits! (Slobber and all.) I rarely let a dog breed? But I have done that a few times..like 4 in 41 years! (They were espcially beautiful bassetts and it would ahve been a shame not to let them produce a litter! LOL!) Once you have one..you fall in love! They are saggy and beautiful! I have a 2 year old right now..only as a pet. she had been abused and I brught her home and she is a sweetheart! (MANDY.) They are great woith kids and families. I also have a black lab female and they love to play together. It is great! I will ALWAYS have a bassset hound in the home!

We just adopted a basset hound. Her name is Daisy and she is about 7 months old. Still needs to be trained so more but so far she is such a good dog.

hello, i'm from the philippines and i own a pair of basset hound breeders. they're actually nice and funny but not cuddly. do you want to own one? then i suggest that you research them in the internet. they're not easy to breed but very easy to take care of.

hi. i used to be a basset owner. yes they are nice to have around the house. they are sweet & cuddly and lovable. anyone who sees them will just fall in love with them instantly.

We have a 4 year old basset named Georgia. She's a sassy, stubborn, drooling, thieving sneak and we wouldn't have it any other way! :)
