Can your hound do this without help?

Snoopy loves to be cuddled in this position when we arrive back home after being out at work or to the shops etc.

Can any of your hounds sit in this position by themselves? Snoopy is quite unsteady so we have to hold her paw.

I think she looks so cute in this picture...

We call that pose: KangaRUBY! (kangaroo) :P

Ruby used to do that all the time when she was younger. Now she's too top heavy; she has a massively muscular chest from climbing very steep stairs as a puppy in our first house.

Enjoy!

Elvis can. We can never get a picture of him doing it, though. He is too interested in the camera.

We will keep trying.

All day, everyday, since the first day I got him over the summer. Bogie sits like that on couches, on chairs, next to the table, in the kitchen, on the bed. He will even do it outside to try to see over the snow piles. Anywhere. I assume he does that to get my attention, and it works, because there is really no way to resit that.

Proof!

Hello everyone, lovely to see other hounds doing this, Hugo my hound does this for treats even when you are asking him to sit or drop!!!!!!!!!! I think it get the most responce so it is his favourite party trick!!!
I havent come across many other owners teaching there bassets tricks so its good to see!!!

Moe could never do that. He's too lazy, or maybe he's never been motivated enough to try.

I'm afraid Toby can't do this with or without my help

Seems to almost defy the law of gravity seeing a basset do this

Charlie does this next to the dinner table every night. I simply can't look at him because feeding from the table is taboo -- and it's my rule!

The lady I got Charlie from has told me more than once about the time she took his dad, Spot (Soundtrack's boy), to the Westminster Dog Show. Spot knew she had liver in her pocket, and he kept sitting up, begging for some. When they went in the ring, the crowd went wild -- Spot had won their hearts with his sit-ups!!!!

oh i'd love to of seen Ruby doing a KangaRuby! (I'm off to see real Kangaroo's in October!!)

It's great to see other dogs doing it too!

My boyfriend is worried this postion will cause a strain on her back or hurt her in some way - is he just being over protective like usual???
