      I have had 3 Basset hounds in my life. They are very laid back dogs, stubborn, and lazy. I loved them to pieces. Great dogs for elderly or handicapped people. They could sleep through a hurricane or an earthquake and not twitch. If they frequent outdoors in the sun they smell. It's something in their skin, I think. They love to cuddle and have their stomach rubbed. I could go on, but I will not. Love their feet and ears too!!

    This video makes me so happy yet also makes me tear up. Because this is exactly the experience I had 50 years ago when my sister returned home from college with Fred, a 1-year-old basset she rescued. He was absolutely terrified of everything and everybody. But after weeks of coaxing, cajoling and reassurance he became utterly devoted to me - and me to him. Best damn dog in the world. ❤️

Chewed & tore up everything in my house including door jams, carpets, window screens, pillows, blankets, etc. She had severe separation anxiety, I'd take her with me (cool months) to run in the grocery store, come out and the entire armrest on my car door was hanging off, just chewed to bits?!! After she passed at 10 yrs old, my basset Daisy showed up. She was the absolute opposite, the best EVER! I felt like I paid my dues and was gifted an angel.

    I have adopted several Basset Hounds. They all had a problem of one kind or another. They are stubborn or self-spoiled but the sweetest personalities. I loved each of them immensely and in return i received their love and devotion. To me there is nothing nicer. They are not suited to everyone but if you are motivated by cuteness and little quirky personalities they are it!

While they are laid back doggers, they still need exercise, continued training, and company; they don’t do well alone. All my peeps are around my age, so…but still, I love those cuties.

    I inherited 2 ancient dogs, 12 and 9 who were totally imprinted to their deceased owner. It took literally 1 year before anyone could pet them for more than a few seconds without growls and nips.
    One year later, they turned around and now fight each other to be the nearest to me when relaxing and are so dramatic with barks and howls when I leave in the car and jump and bark in circles when I come back even if I'm gone for a few minutes. They are 15 and 12 now.
    1 year is a long time, but they were old and unsocialised. It's so nice to see the turn in their perception of you even if it takes a while, especially with old dogs.
