Better be careful Billy you might end up with a hound too short to hunt and breed by themselves.Then you might even start saying things like ,that line of Basset is not a real basset they are just field hounds.

I was joking around with Billy,but I`m not blind.Field hounds don`t have the strong short front legs of the show Basset.

Please post a picture of Y.Lee so we can see his front legs.Then someone with a Show Basset can post a picture showing their front legs.
I think it will prove a point that a difference of 2 to 3 inches in front leg seperates the show and field basset.

I hope noone is misunderstanding my point.I will let Dean`s titles(that I greatly admire)prove the point that his hound is not less than any other hound.If someone with picture posting capability`s would post a Champion Best of Breed Basset Hound picture from the show arena,then a picture of Y.Lee. side by side .I just believe the added inch or two on field Basset`s front legs improve their ability to hunt.That is the reason Field Basset`s look different.
