Hey everyone! Lately I’ve noticed that Brucey sometimes leaves a wet spot after getting up from a nap. Has anyone experienced this with their younger, male, intact basset?

He’s not showing any signs of UTI, at all. Though he did recently have Giardia again… that’s all I can think of.

Hey everyone, I’m new to the group and am looking for tips and advice on owning a Bassett Hound. My partner and I have a 3 year old named Hildi, and I want to give her the best life possible. I just recently put down my senior poodle mix and while I learned over the years what worked for her. I realize i know very little about Hildi and her breed. My goal is to give this little lady a long and happy life. So any information would be greatly appreciated!

Areas of higher interest

-Best training tips/trainers that are well knowledgeable on the breed -exercise limit (how much is to much/to little) – good enrichment toys or activities that hopefully last strong puppy jaws 😆 – Toppers – Treats – Food (whether it be kibble, raw, lightly/gently cooked or mixed)
-Supplements (broth/yogurt/ probiotics etc) I want something she’ll be excited to eat, that I can change up to keep the interest in but are also good for her and make her feel full – Grooming equipment (tools,nail cutters, grinders/ shampoos etc) -Harness/Collars/ leashes etc (she’s a pully girl!)

I’d honestly just love to hear about people’s personal experiences with certain brands and what works best in

Picture included of said puppy

Mac currently weighs about 68 pounds and we’re trying to get him on a diet but my boi likes to eat lol. If there’s any recommendations for food combinations I can make that your basset loves please let me know! At the moment he likes to eat the brand From food. I would like to start making food for him at home or even buying the fresh pet stuff but idk what others might prefer to give their bassets.

He’s a big goober and has HIS spot on the bed. If anyone is in his spot he will complain Every. Single. Time. lol but that’s our boi 🤍 I wonder if anyones basset is the same.

Life is ruff 😴 night night sleep tight!

Wishing everyone a safe MDW! 💙
