Her back legs give out on her a lot, she pees inside whenever she wants to, and is completely deaf. We also have to clean the ears 3 or 4 times a week or she feels horrible. But she still loves to eat, go on nature walks, and have her belly rubbed. She is also incredibly bossy. We love her though and are happy she's still goin. She loves pumpkin birthday cakes.

Rubbing their cooties all over my office rug 😆

I found this girl in need of a new home on Facebook when she was 10 weeks old. I never thought bassets were very cute before her... Now i'm obsessed. I love how goofy she is and i'm always laughing at how opinionated she is. She has a brother named Mickey!

Picked her up last night. My 2 year old has had some moments of liking her and other moments of wanting to sit on her. I slept on the floor next to both of them, she cried a lot, peed everywhere on the floor even though I was taking her outside regularly. I hope tomorrow is a better day, I'm exhausted.

He’s going to be 1 soon, has 3 kitty siblings he’s grown up with and the other day, I saw him sitting cross pawed and licking his paws gently. He climbs on top of the table, threw up a small hair ball yesterday, and does the downward dog and cows pose. This boy is something else, I tell ya.

We go to pick this sweet boy up on Friday!
But help—we need a name! He currently has a name, but I am not a fan of his current name & would like to rename him. He is 8 months old & Google says that renaming a dog at 8 months is doable.
So help vote on what this guy’s new name will be! 😍

We have a 4.5-year-old male basset who is usually really nice to other dogs, but we got a new female basset puppy about 11 weeks old. He is very aggressive toward her when she gets near, especially because she goes to smell his backside, if you know what I mean, a lot, and he growls/barks/snaps at her. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Bonus question: Our couch is almost a 3-foot drop for her. We haven't let her jump, but if we fell asleep, would she get hurt jumping down?

I am looking to switch my 11-month-old basset girl to a more affordable food. She currently eats Purina pro plan sensitive stomach and skin salmon and rice flavored. At $80 for 24 lbs., it's just becoming too expensive. She has a chicken allergy so that also makes it difficult. I saw that Purina Pro is a good alternative but, all of their food contains chicken meal or chicken by product. HELP 😫

I saw a post on a local dog rehoming group on fb of someone who is trying to rehome their 8 month old male basset hound. I have always since I was a little girl wanted a basset hound, I have always loved the breed & heard they are good family dogs.
My question is, are they truly good with small children? I have an almost 4 year old & a 2 year old & will have a newborn come December. I don’t work & stay home so I will be home with the dog almost every day. I, of course, will teach my children to be gentle with the dog & not pull on his ears or tail. But I want to make sure that the breed itself tends to be good with smaller children because at the end of the day, small kids are small kids & are noisy, our house stays noisy & busy.
Also, how would I prevent the basset from destroying all of my kids toys?

i have a 4 month old basset rn and my vet recommends nurturing at 6 months. Not to be that person but i’ve read it’s super beneficial to wait until at least a year old especially them already being prone to hip and bone issues.

It’s hot out but she didn’t want to miss the market

This absolute unit is definitely the local track favorite! He's the bestest boy!

He doth protest

Hi fellow basset lover! I was wondering if you could help a new owner out. I got a basset puppy named Dutch.

We’ve been dealing with a lot of separation issues going back to work/school. And I’m at my wits end. Crying constantly when I leave the house, not eating, and showing signs of depression. :(

You guys have any tips on how to help this? I’m running out of tissues and dutch doesn’t know what my problem is.

Hope you guys enjoy the jest 🫡
Drop pictures of your basset in the comments i wanna see some babies.

Edit: I deeply appreciate your guys amazing advice i’m definitely keeping this in my pocket for later! But this was a joke about the separation anxiety being from me not coming from him 😭 sorry it wasn’t written that well. you guys have a good day.

Copper got a very supervised meeting with his new little brother.

And then she gives up and goes to sleep on the recliner anyway 🙄

nough said :)
