My wife and I tragically lost our 11 year old golden retriever to hemangiosarcoma nearly a month ago. He was incredibly kind, gentle and active and loved all the cuddles.
We are hoping to have kids within the next 2 years and are interested in getting a Bassett hound. My wife actually had a Bassett as a child and said he was the laziest dog ever and did not enjoy being active or cuddling.
From reading stories on here it looks like some Bassetts are relatively active and good with kids. I miss my daily walks with my golden. We always went on one walk before I went to work and another walk when I got home. Both about a mile loop. On the weekends we enjoy outdoor activities and hikes and will hike 3-5 miles. The winter less because it’s dreadfully cold where we live.
Any Bassett owners here have active bassets that can handle or have the desire to hike 3-5 miles?
