I am considering a basset hound for our family. We recently lost our 3 month old Shar Pei puppy to Shar Pei Fever and I can’t relive that experience again. A basset is the closest I’ve seen that reminds me of Bagel.
I am driving myself crazy with all the info online and would rather hear straight from those who love and live with the breed.
What are your experiences with health, shedding, potty training, barking, drool, staircases, etc? We live in a 2 story house with my 9-year old son and 3 other dogs a senior (age unknown) Treeing Walker Coonhound, a 13-year old maltipoo, and an 8-month old Cocker/Shar Pei puppy.
This was my son’s first puppy that passed away and I don’t want this to be his only experience but am trying to be very thoughtful to hopefully prevent another heartbreak. My son loves to run around, and get the dogs to chase him, but is also happy to lounge and watch tv or play video games. We also have 3 other dogs a senior Treeing Walker Coonhound, a 13-year old maltipoo, and an 8-month old Cocker/Shar Pei puppy.
Any advice or suggestions is appreciated.
