I thought I would introduce myself!
My name is Shawna, and I have just adopted a 5 mo. old baby Basset from an animal shelter here in Ks. He is a total doll! I have never had a Basset before, and my son thought we ought to have one! He named the baby FRED. Fred is actually my sons...my son will be 20 this Aug. and yes, he still lives at home!
I have been married for 21 yrs. and we have 3 mastiffs, 2 of which are therapy dogs, and one is a rescue. Fred fits right in with my gentle giants. I will post pics sometime soon.
I live in the country, and I have 2 horses and assorted other animals!
I have been reading this forum for awhile now. I am very excited to learn all I can about the Basset breed. I am a training instructor at my local kennel club, and I am a volunteer for F.O.R.M. (Friends Of Rescued Mastiffs) and also the local animal shelter.
My son will be Fred's "trainer", and (hopefully) get his CGC....I on the other hand would love for Fred to be one of my therapy dogs!
I also want to add that this is a very nice forum with very nice people...I know I will enjoy it here!
