Basset is my dream pet

Hi!! I’ve been dreaming of getting a Basset Hound for eight months now. Unfortunately, my parents don’t think it’s a good idea. Before that, we had a cat and fishes. I understand the challenges and unique aspects of caring for a dog (daily walks, training, and trips to the vet). I also understand the unique features, such as excessive drooling, health issues due to its build, and a stubborn nature. Please share the real pros and cons of Basset Hounds!

I live with my parents in a spacious apartment, and we also have a countryside house with a large territory outside!
