Hi, I adopted my first Basset, Flash, 6 weeks ago and my second, Loretta 3 weeks ago. They're both 20 months old. Flash is a well cared for, well trained pet whose owner was arrested & sentenced to a lot of time in prison ( I don't know what she did, all I know is she took great care of Flash until that time). Flash went back to his breeder & I was fortunate to be the one chosen to adopt him.
Loretta was fed, but otherwise neglected. From the age of 10 weeks she was in a chain link kennel 24-7 and her only human interaction was once a day when someone came round to pour food & water in her bowl.
They're both beautiful and endearing. Flash has come to me with only one problem, which is recreational barking. I haven't figured out yet how to solve this. Loretta has several problems, as you can imagine. She has no idea how to act but I have to say, for a dog isolated in a cage since puppyhood, I'm amazed that she's so friendly and outgoing with everyone she's come in contact with. Later I'll post the problems she's having and will hope for some advise from other Basset owners.
I tried to add photos of them to this post but couldn't make it happen. I'll try posting pics again tomorrow.
