Thank you and I can't wait to get my two basset hounds to sit for me to get their pics! My daughter and I adopted one for each from a Bassett Hound Rescue and they told me mine was about 2 years old but low and behold he is really about 7 to 8 years old! The vet said he had a traumatic life and must have had some injuries to his rib cage. We also renamed him because he didn't come to the name they gave him but he answered to Henry and he has been answering to it for 2 years now. We have a 55 ft by 200 ft. privacy fenced yard and he loves it! 3 months ago we took in another Bassett hound who is 5 years old and beautiful with such a sweet disposition. We got a phone call from someone and they didn't want him anymore and we will be his 5th home! But I will guarantee we will be his last home!!! He is the sweetest. He follows me all over and lays by my feet when on puter. So I think he really loves me! Then there is my daughter's bassett hound from the Rescue whose name is Waldo and he will be going to Alabama when she gets married in September. He is a little bit of a porker! He is a black and white only bassett! But I am going to try on Saturday to get their pics! We decided to adopt instead of getting a puppy this time and it worked out well. Thank you for welcoming me and this site is very informative. Yes, they are short dogs with big paws!!! hahahahaha! Janese
