I am SO GLAD that bassets aren't on the list. Please let our furbabies fly beneath the radar so they don't become a popular dog and have all sorts of people start breeding them. The resuces have enough now![/b]

The breed popularity of the basset hound is falling. Also keep in mind the statistic is for numbers registered the demand may not actual match those figures, it is in reality the number of dogs produced, not the number bought/ aquired and only AKC registrations are counted
