Hi everyone! This is Mary from Alabama and we just got Ace, a 7 week old Basset. I have some stupid questions. How clumsy is a basset puppy really supposed to be? Ace seems to trip over his front legs when he's running, and sometimes those back feet just can't keep up. Is it normal for him to play about 30 minutes and then sleep a couple of hours? OK here is what really worries me. His feet are HUGE and his legs down to his elbow just don't seem to match. I mean its not crazy looking or anything but his lower legs are definetly larger than his upper leg. Is this normal? Do they look normal to you?
OK I guess ya'll can tell this is our first basset. He belongs to both of our sons but was given as a birthday present to the 7 year old. We have been to the vet, and he just said to give Ace a little milk in addition to his food to help his bones grow strong. I will question him more in depth next week when we go back for shots. Ace is already a loved member of the family, so we just hope we made a good decision.
Thanks
Mary
