Welcome! I have Baxter, an 8 month old Basset. But I also have two Lab mixes, who are Baxter's best buddies.
You are very wise to learn all you can about Basset Hounds because sometimes people get them because they're such adorable puppies and then when they grow up they don't want to deal with their drool, ears that need cleaning all the time, howling (some), and, well - they're just not the neatest doggies!! We that love them put up with it all though and even find a lot of humor in it!! :lol:
