Behavior, Housebreaking, Obedience / housetraining advice
« on: August 28, 2007, 08:45:57 pm »
I have a 14 week bassett hound that I have had for 2 1/2 weeks.  Is there anyone who can offer me advice on housetraining her. She doesnt seem to be making any progress.  What really confuses me is that she seems to be disinterested in our praise when she does go outside.  I read that training bassets can be a challenge.  Does anyone know the reason for this?

Unfortunately the breeder is not offering for luxating patella. I did call the breeder and their vet and informed them of the diagnosis so hopefully they will take it to heart and not breed that line anymore.  These pups were on their way to an animal shelter so I knew it would be risky as far as health problems, but we are in this for the long haul no matter what is ahead.  I have read to be careful with jumping and such, but wanted ot make sure about the food.  She is adorable.  If i figure out how to do pics I would love to show her off.  He big brother, choc lab, Rocky loves her too.

Food Discussion & Information / feeding a new puppy

Hello, my name is Brenda and I have a 12 week basset named Lola. I read on some of these messages that I should not feed more than 24% protein.  I am feeding her Innova Puppy and it says 26%  protein.  Is this ok?  I just recently found out at her vet check that she has a luxating patella so I am very concerned about making sure the food is right.

Hello. I am new to this board.  I was researching information about basset hounds and came across this board.  My daughter and I are the new parents of Lola a 11 week basset. Because I was already feeding my 2yr old lab Innova I chose Innova puppy for Lola.  Any comments that would help us make sure we are feeding her the correct amount and kind of food.  One thing I was worried about was bloat and also growing too quickly.  After the vet appt we were told its also possible that she has luxating patella.  So I want to make sure I am doing the right thing with what I feed her and also any supplements that might be needed to help with the luxating patella.
