With a few recent comments about Bassets and rain, I started to wonder if it has anything to do with where they were born and raised by the breeder?
Both of mine were farm dogs, I'm not talking puppy mill farm, I mean agricultural farm. Dozer was born in small shed (large doghouse), and he was able to go outside freely. He was only taken into the house on occasion. Digger was born in a horse barn, and was free to wonder around. He was never allowed in the house by the breeder.
Both of them love the rain AND the snow.
On the other hand, my parents "mutt" was born in the house and kept inside. Rarely was he taken outside. By the way, he hates the rain. Same goes with my sister's Pugs, house dogs that hate the rain.
So basically, inside/outside raised and whether they like the rain, or snow?
(coming soon, taken last winter)
