Some useful links and tips

It seems to be a lot of first time basset puppy owners here lately.
It's a very wise thing to ask questions here at the forum, there's
a lot of experience out here among all the 1000's of oldtimers.

But I would recommend you to take a look at some web-sites before
you choose breed, breeder - or if that's too late, at least prepare yourself
the best you can.

This board is a part of a very good basset web site, the CyberHound.
I especially recommend Eva S. Balogh's two articles on the early history of the basset,
and about pedigrees and computers. I have all her pedigrees and many more, I may
find your basset's pedigree back to the breed's origin.

The homepage starts here:

http://www.heatherweb.com/cyberhound/core.html

The Basset Hound Club of America also have a lot of good information, you can start here:

http://www.basset-bhca.org/Finding/Discover1.htm

Finally, American Kennel Club has much stuff about buying and bringing a puppy home,
and puppy proofing your place:

http://www.akc.org/future_dog_owner/...ying_a_dog.cfm

You can find a lot of other information on the net, but be aware; It's no guarantee for a thing is
correct, even though someone has made a webpage, go for the reputable sources.

Wonderful information!! Maybe these links could be added permently to the "important topic" section by the moderators. Then anyone interested in owning a Basset or new owners with questions would have easy access to the information.

Perhaps folks could add their favorite links, and then we can move the thread to the FAQ section.

Here are my favorite links on choosing an ethical breeder.

Yes, that could be an idea -

Was the info to any help for you new comers?
