OK, so I got up this morning and let my westie out(Toby still sleeping) Went out after and picked up yesterdays dog dirt from the garden.About 10minutes later Toby heads for the garden. He is out there alone for about 10minutes which is unusual for him as he usually does his stuff and comes in immediately. I hear him scraping the door and I let him in and feed both dogs Whilst they are eating I go out and pick up Toby's toilet and that is when I see a mass of BIRD Feathers and a BIRD'S HEAD on the grass.!!!
Do you think it is possible that a basset hound could catch a bird, kill it,, rip the feathers off and then eat it, all in the space of about 10minutes, and then come in and eat his breakfast? :huh:
If it had been my westie, I would have believed her capable of this, as she has a strong prey drive, but I find it hard to believe that a basset could do this to another animal.
Just wondering if anyone else has seen this type of behaviour in their hound?
