I am getting another Basset puppy next Saturday. I am so excited. Question for everyone??? What do you think of the name Buddy for a Basset boy? His official name will be Brown's Buddy but Buddy for short

Congratulations! I think it's a nice name. It might not be the most unique, but I often think we should have named our pup Buddy. We call him buddy all the time and it would have been a good name for a basset, as they're definitely buddies.

I'm so excited for you. Buddy is a great name. Maxwell is 6 months old and we're going to get a sister for him in September - they have the same father. Reading your post made me more anxious than ever to bring our new little Hannah home. She's only 2 weeks old now.

Congrats!! Make sure you keep us updated on how things go and post pictures.

Maxwell sends a happy howl to Buddy!!

Congrats! Buddy will be a fine basset friend for you and for Jessie Brown. Looked at the pics, love his white tipped nose. Is he one of Dean's pups?

Just remember that if you take your hound to a hunt or field trial, you may have to start trying to catch him -- running through the fields and woods calling
This is why you dont want names like dipstick or dum-dum -- the breeder of Kurli was going to name her Curlie Girlie -- i can not see me running through the woods calling "here, Curli Girlie"
Names like Wench can be interesting --- see who answers

*giggle* Willow gets called dipstick and dum-dum regularly, as well as numb-skull. I am now going to have to throw wench in there when I'm just chatting away to her, it's perfect.

I think Buddy's a very cute name. Buddy-the-basset, it has a nice sound.

Last week someone got a male basset pup from us and they named him Buddy. The name seems to fit basset pups very well.

Buddy is a very pretty dog and it's a nice name. Maybe you can start trimming/clipping his nails now and again to keep them neat. This is what my breeder told us to do so that by the time they are old enough to complain, it has become part of their beauty routine. Of course if you do a lot of road walking once Buddy is about 10/11 months old his claws will wear down on their own.

We live on the coast, in miles of countryside, so ours walk in the fields, park, lanes and beaches and they rarely go on the roads so now and again I have to trim their nails or Dremel them and one doesn't mind too much and the other two dogs aren't keen on having their feet touched!
