It seems to me the bassets that do well in the show ring and tracking are the ones being bred. By responsible people that is. They have been judged and proven worthy by people in several areas. Just look at some of the titles following the dog's name, these animals are out there doing it all. The owners devote so much time and energy not to mention money to prove the dogs top quality. I could be way off, but that is the impression I get.
