Well got new batteries for my camera so a few pictures when i have two seconds. We noticed that Basset pups chew a lot more than pug pups. Sooo off to store and got Vlad a better and bigger chew bone, than what we had. Had my dining room furniture for 10 years and no chew marks, hope we can continue the trend.

Oooh, love the sad face, Vlad...!

well, Worm chewed a lot but didn't really destroy too much. however, there are teeth marks on the legs of the dining room and coffee tables, with some of the black pain scratched off. We had little collateral damage overall, but the tables did not get off scott-free, unfortunately. we'll keep our fingers crossed for your dining room.

FWIW most of the basset puppies I have owned prefferred wood while teething keep approrate wooden chew toy helped limit damage to other wooden items imho

He is a beautiful little hunk of a basset. He looks like a crafty little one to me! Thanks for putting pics of him up. I think many on the forum feel a special bond with these pups, as we have watched them grow from birth.

You could also get some of those trunk guards they put on new trees to protect the bark. You could put them on the legs until he passes that phase. On the other hand putting guards on might just make them more appealing to him.

What a beautiful puppy -- he makes my heart twitter!!!! How could you every be angry with him if he ate your table -- all he will have to do is bat those pretty eyes and you will melt!!! Those tree trunk things sound like a good idea if they will fit on the table legs. We happened to be quite fortunate when Paisley was little she just didn't chew on anything and we had her gated in our kitchen when we worked. But we did have a springer who decided to lick one spot on the wall until he licked a hole in the drywall everytime we were not looking -- the more we patched the more he nibbled until finally he found something else to mangle.

Yum puppy condiments.


Next prediction in basset vs pug, I couldn't believe a basset could shed the equvilent of a pugs weight in hair in a single week. Believe it, fall shedding season is just around the corner and timed to conincide with puppy to adult coat change over as well.
