I've had Bassets. If I ever get another dog it too will be a Basset. They are just different in a really cool way. They will look you square in the eye when you talk to them as if they understand every word you say, then go and do what they wanted to do anyways.
I have had 6 basset hounds and have 2 right now. Bassets are magnificent!
Just chillin'.
The tail wag says "scratch my belly please?"
