My name is Gladys and I’m a 50/50 European/American female basset. I was on this sub in another post but was never formally introduced. I was the runt of the litter but now I’m 39lbs at 8 months old. I’m also incredibly stubborn. I refuse to wake up from naps, refuse to come inside when it’s raining, and enjoy playing keep-away from my owners with their shoes.

This is my baby Basshole Daisy, she is 8 weeks old. She is obviously in that puppy phase where she just wants to chew. I’ve considered Bark Box, but my partner says it would probably be better just to go to Marshalls/Pet Supply and get her a couple toys and treats a month.

11 weeks old and our first basset. We already love him dearly and our other two dogs (dachshund and cheweenie siblings) seem to be getting along well with him. There is the occasional correction from one of them that is usually met with a tantrum from Moose. He is by far the biggest personality in this house and he’s been here for three weeks. We are so excited to see him grow in size and personality.

My best friend just had his 12th birthday. Long time lurker first time poster. I figure a 12th birthday deserves a post.

We went for a long hike in the woods on his favorite trail, then he passed out on the way home of course. I was very proud when he crossed a small stream with minimal fear. Last photo is him a 1 years old just for fun.

Basset Rescue of Puget Sound (BROPS) is celebrating the one-year Gotcha Day for Noodle and Angus who came to us last spring, and spent 12 weeks with their foster fam before finding their new home. We get regular updates on the “Princess and her Protector” and they are thriving.

It’s always a joy to embrace the good people in this world who love and care for these rescue babies and give them a second chance.

The Princess and her Protector: a royal pairing of snuggles and strength

Six-year-old pair of bonded Basset Hounds! From the moment you meet Noodle her soft brown eyes will melt your heart and before you realize it, this cuddly princess will be on your lap nosing your pocket for treats. Gentle, easy to handle and with a maternal nature, Noodle loves touching! A petite 40-ish pounds, she will need a new Houdini-proof harness for walks. Cats, chickens and bunnies are a definite NO, and once on a scent she can wriggle out of her restraints.

Handsome tri-color Angus is a stately 60 pounds of muscle. Reserved and watchful, he is Noodle’s bodyguard and places himself in front of her when they nap. With a steady awareness of his surroundings, Angus does best in a calm environment.

Both are house-trained. Raised with a dog door, which their foster family does not have, they go out every four hours during the day, or will go to the door and ask to be let out. With limit water after dinner, they sleep through the night before potty time in the morning.

Minor food aggression with Angus. Keep kibble behind a closed door or otherwise secured. Fed together but in separate slow-feeder bowls. Once Angus warms up — and he is so worth the effort of getting to know— he’s a loyal and loving boy keen for your attention… and a few snacks on the sly while his Princess is sleeping.

We live in a bungalow and there are 2 steps at the back door that lead to the landing which has the back door. With the new baby, I am struggling having to lift her up and down and I wonder if anyone has found a solution. I see these on Amazon, thoughts? There’s not enough room for a ramp.

I am looking to switch my 11-month-old basset girl to a more affordable food. She currently eats Purina pro plan sensitive stomach and skin salmon and rice flavored. At $80 for 24 lbs., it’s just becoming too expensive. She has a chicken allergy so that also makes it difficult. I saw that Purina Pro is a good alternative but, all of their food contains chicken meal or chicken by product. HELP 😫
