Anyone ever see their basset stand up like this? The video link I posted is of Maggie doing it a couple of years ago. I haven't been able to snap a picture or video in time lately. She does this allllllll the time. Excuse the excitement in my voice in the video... that was the first time I had ever seen her do it.

Also, here's a picture of her doing it around the same time I took the video. Like I said, she does it all the time but I can never get my phone in time to snap a pic before she hears me and sits back down. haha

I love photos of hounds doing that – sooooo cute!

Flash never even tried anything like that and with her having the long back that she did, I was afraid that she could hurt herself so I never encouraged her to try– Lucy on the other had has a much shorter back but , well, she’s just too darn fat to do anything but lay around – and now go after Mabel now.

Our westies & weiner dogs we had growing up did this all the time, but bassets are much more impressive. Any day now Buttercup... I'm waiting!!

Our pup does it occasionally but can't sit that way for long. It is funny to watch though! And he started doing it on his own, apparently standing on his hind legs was too much work, easier to sit on his bottom I guess!

you obsess about that!!!

Quite the opposite as most males in this country are nuetered that is not the issue It just might be my small sample size but that behavior seem very strongly biased toward females is my observation why that is I do not know it may only be because they ar smaller or it could be something like females have wider hips like humans (don't know if that is even true for dogs or basset} etc.

I sometimes wonder how in the world Maggie can sit up for as long as she does.

Both boys (Spot and Watson) were known for their marathon sit-ups, as was SallyAnne. They all got lots of treats that way. The ones that were best at it basically learned to settle square on their bums rather than being supported by their legs.

Puppy-bearing hips, maybe?

Edit: Here's a clip of Lucie and Lottie having some treats and Lottie sitting and catching for much of the time.

I used to have masses of clips of them but have lost them all as YT banned me for copying a couple of BBC clips from Glastonbury and they reckoned they warned me but I didn't get any warnings, then suddenly one day I couldn't get on and they had banned me!

During a bad thunderstorm we lost our electric as something got struck nearby and because of a power surge I lost all the pictures, videos etc that weren't backed up and all my Basset clips for many months are still somewhere within YTube. I got back on through having a new internet provider so a new address but am gutted to have lost all my puppy videos.

Does anyone know how I could get all my clips of my beloved dogs back from YTube please (or how to be 'unbanned')?

That is soooo cute. None of my Bassets have ever done this. You must really have to look good to tell those two apart. They must be sisters.

Very cute video!

If they banned you, would that mean they might have taken your legit videos down, too? Have you tried contacting them to see if they would unban you long enough to get your videos?

SophieB - Maybe if you contact youtube, they can help you get your videos?

I don't have a 'proper' contact address and whenever I have tried to contact them via their so-called "help" section, I just keep getting standardised replies and no help whatsoever!

All of my puppy videos, where they played together in the garden, were uploaded to YouTube from the day we got the pups until around 8 months old and I have lost every one of them because we had a computer problem during a thunderstorm and a power spike (?) wrecked our PC and we lost several months worth of pics and videos.

Because I knew my pup videos were on YouTube I thought they were safe and I could watch them at any time and because I uploaded a couple of Glastonbury clips, YouTube suspended' my account saying they'd warned me previously but I have no record of any warnings. There are loads of clips from the TV on YT so why did they pick on me?

I don't care about the music clips I made at loads of gigs I went to, I just desperately want my puppy clips but I have no idea how I can contact YouTube direct to ask... all I can see is the usual 'standarised' questions, to which I get the same old replies!!!!

PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP ME CONTACT YT direct, to ask if I can have my puppy clips back? They are my property, after all!

Are the videos able to be found on youtube? If you cannot find them by searching (either title or user name) I would wonder if by deleting/banning you from youtube, they also deleted all your videos. Not trying to bring ya down but its a huge possibility-if you were a "threat" by your TV show clips-they may have removed all of yours permanently.

Awww, SophieB, whatta bummer!
I was wondering why I hadn't seen those cute Lucy & Lottie videos lately.

Detective Worm looking around the internet: consensus seems to be that there is no actual person you can talk to, no actual customer support. The bottom of this thread shows how you can dispute a suspension. What if you tell them you're really, really sorry for what happened, you didn't know, but you would really like to have just the puppy videos back???

although deleted, i bet it is there somewhere. it's just a matter of convincing someone at youtube to retrieve them for you.

How to contact YouTube. - YouTube Help

hmmm... looks like youtube was bought by Google. we know a coupla peeple who work at Google. We also live near their headquarters in San Bruno... we'll let you know if we find anything else...

Thanks Wworm and it would be so good if someone from Google could intervene as these were/are the only video clips of my puppies playing together as they were all together on the PC drive that was absolutely wrecked by the power spike (?) in a sudden lightning storm.

Charady2, If I try and log on, I get this message "Account disabled, please use a different email."

I have PMd you, Wworm...

SophieB - I can't do it from my laptop anymore but there used to be a way to download videos from youtube. I could do it when I had that Microsoft Vista but I got rid of that.
