Extra Doggy Info:
Momma - http://secondhandhounds.org/2009/11/momma-1-year-old-pitchowheeler-mix/
Momma just weaned a beautiful litter of healthy puppies. Unfortunately, she is still a puppy herself! She is only about 11 months old and still has a lot of puppy in her. After raising 9 puppies, she needs a home all to herself! She gets very worked up around other dogs, and that energy can make other dogs nervous. Therefore, we think she would be best as an only dog. She needs some work on obedience, but what she lacks in manners, she makes up for in cuddles and kisses and nibbles. She is a great size, about 40 pounds, and is gorgeous. Your guess is as good as ours in terms of breed- we think she might have cattle dog, chow, and pit bull in her. She is housebroken and crate trained.

Alan - http://secondhandhounds.org/2009/09/alan-1-2-year-old-lab-mix/
Alan is a very special boy. He needs an energetic family who loves to give love. Because of his enthusiasm for life, he may knock over small children. Therefore, we think he would be best with a family with children 8 and up. He loves to chew, but if he has plenty of toys, he will chew those. He adores looking out windows. He is about 45 pounds and very strong. He is a HUGE cuddler and likes to sleep in bed with his humans. He is probably a mix of lab and beagle and maybe some bully breed.

The Wonderful Basset Hound is a Medium/Large dog that weighs anywhere between 45-75 pounds. Their height usually being 11″ to 15″. The Basset Hound is long and low and because of their build this makes their already short legs look even shorter. In fact, the Basset Hounds name comes from the French word “bas” which means low.

Their gentle, loving, patient nature makes them an excellent companion dog for the home while their keen sense of smell and hunting instincts continue to make them excellent hunting companions.

In 1885 the Basset Hound was recognised by the AKC, It’s colouring normally stems from a variety of Hound Dog breeds which is typically white & chestnut or sandy coloured. The fairly dense coat is short, straight, hard and lovely and smooth to the touch. Their coat is easy to groom and only requires an occasional brushing and shampooing.

This loving, gentle dog is ideal for family life. They are excellent and patient with small children, even if normal day to day life does not include children. They are affectionate with their family and love to be around them. They are great with other dogs and pets as well, although early socialization is good for non-canine pets because they might chase them due to their hunting instincts.

They are easy going and fairly inactive when they are inside, making them great for apartment life as they enjoy relaxing and laying around inside. Having said that they do enjoy playing and require regular, exercise and time to run. If you don’t have a yard, then it’s important to make sure they are taken for a walk on a daily basis. They are fairly easy to train, but if they are on the trail of a scent, they will not pay any attention to you. For this reason, a fenced in yard is best. They have a tendency to gain weight, so monitoring their food intake and giving them ample exercise is important.

The Basset Hound originated in France and dates back hundreds of years. Their ancestry can be traced back to the Bloodhound. Originally used as hunting dogs, the Basset Hound uses its excellent sense of smell to track animals. Nowadays you see them mostly as family pets, but they are quite capable of being the hunter and are still used as such in certain places.

Few breeds equal the Basset Hound’s gentle, forgiving, laid back nature. They are the ideal dog for busy family life and for those that just enjoy an occasional walk provided their Basset Hound can have daily outside time.

Whether you have small children or other pets or dogs, the Basset Hound can fit into just about any type of family dynamic with little to no adjustment problems.
