Well I have 2 bassets and a mutt. And my older basset Maggie(6) and Pixie(7) the mutt are a year apart and have never had any problems. And are a absolutely cute pair! But with that said, we got Mollie last summer(she will be a year the end of the month) and she and Maggie are very close too. I don't know how to explain it, but the two of them are closer than Pixe and Maggie ever were and I always thought they were perfect. They do the same things and kinda get each other a little better than Pixie does. So you might really consider getting a 2nd basset. But like I said, Maggie and Pixie are great together too. All three get a long really well and hardly ever get upset.
Getting a 2nd pet is a good call, I really think bassets need a furry sibling. I know before Mollie, if Pixie had to go to the vet or anything w/o Maggie. Maggie would just whine all day because she was so sad. Good luck with whatever you choose.
