Learn All About the Basset Hound
If you're considering a Basset Hound as a pet or already have one, then you may have many questions:
- Is this breed right for me and my family?
- What's the best way to find one?
- And once I have one, how do I train and care for him?
These are the questions that I had back in early 2002 when my husband and I were thinking about adding a Basset to our family.
If you're thinking about this breed of dog as a pet or are seeking information about the best way to keep your Basset happy and healthy, then this web site is perfect for you.
We eventually decided to get a dog and we named him Hunter - for fun we call him Hunter Bunter. He has been a great addition to our family. He's friendly, adorable, and gentle. He can also be quite stubborn at times. But, we love him to death.
I've learned a lot about the breed through my initial research and of course from my experiences with Hunter and he's always teaching me something new.
I created this web site to provide a valuable, free resource that answers all of the questions you may have about Basset Hounds. I frequently add new information to the site and the best way to stay informed is to subscribe to my blog (no email address required).
To learn more about Hunter, me, and this web site read my about page.
Here's a photo of Hunter that's a favorite of mine:
