Our boy has just turned one year old this month. He's a damn sight uglier but no calmer than he was when we got him!

A blurry photo from when we got him


And this one from this morning on the bridleway. Over 25kg now, he just sinks straight up to his belly in the mud, which he seems to enjoy.

Gorgeous doggy you have there!

Thanks! Basil is our first dog. In hindsight we should have picked an easier breed for a novice. He goes everywhere with his nose welded to the ground, following any smell he fancies. No amount of name calling or waving treats will distract him. Soft as anything and full of character though.

Today i done something for the first time....took a dog for a walk! After nearly 32yrs on this planet i have never walked a dog.

Here he is (still havent decided on a name for him) after his first proper adventure. I dont think ive seen him so worn out!

It's great fun isn't it. Though get a name quick, of he is old enough to be vaccinated and so going out he really needs a name . Good luck on choosing one!

His coat looks like a blanket


Very cute

He looks like a Douglas to me

I've been looking into getting our first dog and Bassets came up on my radar very early on as they are quite docile and can maybe suit people who work all day, but many reviews cemented what you have just said. 'Once they have found a sent, there isn't much you can do to get them off that sent' Also, very very stubborn.

Yours is a lovely looking dog though

Loki and halo. Loki settles in after a couple of days


Loki a couple of month later marvelling at how much fur Halo can dump in one brushing


Loki now getting used to his new back pack - 1 year old in 3 days so he can start carrying stuff in it for his AMWA copper certificate.

Stunning

(Thanks to everyone for the kind comments on Kodi, only been a few weeks so still quite raw but Skye his 19 month old sister is keeping us amused having nice runs on the beach)

Gummers How earlier this year with them both.

My parents have had Bassetts forever, and currently have a petite Griffon vondean.
I can confirm all of the above, but they are still great dogs. Have you seen the Grand Griffons ? My favourite of the group.

Stubborn would be an understatement! He can quite happily completely ignore me calling him, even in the home. Just likes to do his own thing. Obedience trialling wouldnt be one of his strengths thats for sure. He can do the basic sit, stay, lie down commands if theres food in it for him. But a great family dog. He is never anything but completely docile but surprisingly playful. Steriotypical lazy Basset image doesnt apply here, and hes quick when he wants to be. At home he just follows from us from to room and watches everything, loves company.

He's a yorkie and poodle cross. Ive been informed that these are called yorkiepoos but i cant bring myself to call him that, it just doesnt sound right

At the moment he just wants to chew everything he comes into contact with which im assuming is due to him teething. I tried to get a picture of all of him but he rarely stays still long enough



For a small dog he doesnt half st!

[leafspring]

Yorkipoo does sound wrong... Yoodle sounds far better

[digger the goat]

How about a 'Porkie' then ??
