Thinking about adopting this 8 month old male basset hound.

Thinking about adopting this 8 month old male basset hound.

I saw a post on a local dog rehoming group on fb of someone who is trying to rehome their 8 month old male basset hound. I have always since I was a little girl wanted a basset hound, I have always loved the breed & heard they are good family dogs.
My question is, are they truly good with small children? I have an almost 4 year old & a 2 year old & will have a newborn come December. I don’t work & stay home so I will be home with the dog almost every day. I, of course, will teach my children to be gentle with the dog & not pull on his ears or tail. But I want to make sure that the breed itself tends to be good with smaller children because at the end of the day, small kids are small kids & are noisy, our house stays noisy & busy.
Also, how would I prevent the basset from destroying all of my kids toys?

Separation Anxiety Help?

Hi fellow basset lover! I was wondering if you could help a new owner out. I got a basset puppy named Dutch.

We’ve been dealing with a lot of separation issues going back to work/school. And I’m at my wits end. Crying constantly when I leave the house, not eating, and showing signs of depression. 🙁

You guys have any tips on how to help this? I’m running out of tissues and dutch doesn’t know what my problem is.

Hope you guys enjoy the jest 🫡
