Hello everyone, I volunteer for a rescue organization in Virginia and about three weeks ago I got a call asking me to foster a purebred very pregnant Basset hound that had been dropped off at a kill shelter in West Virginia , without a foster home she was due to be put to sleep the next day. She was dropped of with a male basset and another female. I was able to take her and less than a week later she had her beautiful pups , here is there website

so again I am here to learn learn and learn some more![/b]

So do have a specific question?


FWIW for propsective buyers new to the breed i recommend BASSET HOUND OWNER'S SURVIVAL GUIDE not for the advice on how to deal with the breed but for the stroies about the breed itself. A real eye opener for many. Many often decide it is not the breed for them

What an awesome person you are!! The pictures are wonderful and mother and the pups look so happy. You have come to the right place to find information about Bassets. Just ask and someone here always has great suggestions and advice. Keep us updated on the crew.
