So so happy, that you brought the poor wee soul home.
Sad to hear that he went to someone who never understood bassets, but surely they understood enough to feed the poor guy!!!!! :angry:
I really wish you well with him and hope with time and patience, he really blooms, although he seems to be doing not bad so far. My guy was a rescue too, but thankfuly he had never been ill treated, just never trained IMO.
Just a thought though concerning his name,my little westie had been ill treated, and was basically CRAZY when I got her. The animal behaviourist (Edinburgh University) told me that it may have been a good idea to change her name as she would probably have bad associations with that sound. Just thought it was worth mentioning.
BTW, What a Name to call a dog.!!!!!! Gives you some insight into what these people may have been like.
