:lol1: @ the picture :D

Eyes are supposed to be a big problem with them, look for cherry eye and inward growing eye lids IIRC. cant remember the proper name for it but its a common problem.

My Aunt & Uncle had one, docile thing, noisy and daft. Lived to a ripe old age.

No advice apart from their ears usually get in a mess as they drag in the water/food bowls. :D

I would love to have one of these dog's , good choice god3 . no advice though as I have never owned a Bassett

:lol: SUPERB FELLA

Brother has 5 of them , say's its like living with Burke and Hare !! they work as a team :)
if they want a walk they will permit you to walk with them, if not forget it !

Here's a few piccies of my Basset, Harvey.

We got one after spending a LONG time deciding what breed to get.

They are brilliant dogs, very stubborn but very well natured. Make sure you get one from a registered & well recommended breeder as they can be prone to a few health problems.

One last thing, if you don't have a woman before you get a basset, you will after. I love taking him for a walk as you get so much attention from women :norty:

My friend used to keep Bassetts when she lived in Germany. Beautiful dogs :)

I love these dogs, think there so cute and cuddly!!:luvlove: Scoobygav likes little girly dogs though, you know the type, the ones where you can hold them in one hand!!:lol1: He's a girl pants!!:lol1:

Carla..:)

Did you call it Cheech or Chong ??

Cool Dogs, look like a Salvador Dali painting of a normal dog !
