Linsay

dingy used to have one - real characters from what i hear. They used to have to peg it's ears back when it was eating cos it would growl at itself when it bit it's own ears

lamby and mr51 amb of the derbyshire group have 2 as well i think, not sure if they come on here

A friend of mine has a couple. and he says they are awesome! A bit stubborn, but once they know what youre trying to teach them they pick it up real quick!!

He says the same as Linsay.... he ties their ears back when they eat, gos they get into everything... and quite often they stand on and fall over their own ears too!

i used to have 1 years ago. he was great, your right they fall over there own ears. mind when there fully grown they will take over your couch & bed. they do the best howl ever. we used to shout blue haloo at our & it did it. was funny as awt.

miss the little bloke now though.

cheers nic

ok, well i thought id put an update up, i actually forgot i created this post. picked up my basset hound on the 20th december, shes a tri colour basset with ( so far ) a traced 10 generation pedigree. i named her bella.

heres 3 pics of her at 3 months old which were done on the 5th january, shes got alot bigger since and her colouring has come out more aswell.







thanks

thats so sad mate, im def going to get another when my other dog passes away, shes getting on now. i wanted a basset for approx 10 yrs before i got mine, it ewasnt until i got her that i appreciated how lovable a breed they are, real characters. no matter how much you research and read about a breed you dont know what to fully expect until you own one.

i hope the others grow big and strong and arent affected by the loss of their mum.
