i got mine in the mail with my new issue of Tally-Ho.i just got done watching it and found it to be very good and informative.It will be a big help to anyone with their breeding program i feel.after seeing what was explained in it it will be much easier to pick out a nicer dog.

Better be careful Billy you might end up with a hound too short to hunt and breed by themselves.Then you might even start saying things like ,that line of Basset is not a real basset they are just field hounds.

Billy --- he has never met Y. Lee Coyote----small, short, and not a natural breeder --i DON'T THINK SO!!!!!

Dean i've e-mailed with Mike a couple of times to try to get him to go to a AHBA Hunt or a field trial,but i know his time is taken up right now so i won't push him to hard,but he should try to make it to your place Labor Day to meet the LEGEND Y.Lee in the flesh.the experience will with out a doubt leave him weak in the knees for sure.he is such a bashful dog too!!!!

Well, my sweet little Bugsie got her 15 seconds of fame on that CD (or whatever it is). She's featured not once, but twice, as The Knuckled Basset.

I was joking around with Billy,but I`m not blind.Field hounds don`t have the strong short front legs of the show Basset.

Dean

This man has never met Y. Lee Coyote, Critter, Elvis, Jason,or any of several other of my field bassets !!!!!

Please post a picture of Y.Lee so we can see his front legs.Then someone with a Show Basset can post a picture showing their front legs.
I think it will prove a point that a difference of 2 to 3 inches in front leg seperates the show and field basset.

The majority of field bassets that I have seen do not have a problem with leg length or girth. Some do have other conformational traits that are not exactly to breed standard. And there are several people who field trial and/or participate in hunt tests on the east coast whose dogs are show quality or from show lines: Ruth Paule, Joann Hilliker, Leonore Horiban, Ellen Ferguson, Linda Gonzalez, Elsie Tagg, Joan Diebler, and yours truly. I've been competing in field events for 6 years and the quality (conformation to breed standard) of the dogs gets better and better. Take care, Belinda. P.S. Y.Lee is a beautiful, very typey basset with short (albeit bulldoggy) front legs.
