The secret to Bassets is not to fall for that face!! The number one killer of this breed is obesity; so he gets no people food except the odd piece of cheddar cheese when we're training...
They are true hounds, a bit challenging to housebreak and they want to stick to you like glue wherever you go. But, they respond very well to a pack leader who keeps the rules consistent.
I wanted a Bloodhound because I am interested in tracking but don't have the space. AJ is a bloodhound in a basset body!
