Hello Bassett people!

I am planning on getting my first Basset in the coming years.

I have 4 dogs (3 senior dogs) and recently lost 2 senior dogs back to back. Going from 6 to 4 dogs was a culture shock. We are planning on waiting a little bit, to make sure we give full attention to our other seniors since they are 8 and 9. I know puppies demand all attention 😅

We currently have a Bloodhound, Doberman and 2 Frenchies. We are familiar with the stubbornness and scent drive of hounds. (Our 3 angel doggies were 2 bloodhounds and a lab/Chihuahua mix)

I have some questions about Bassetts. How often are we grooming them? Has anyone had bloodhounds and bassetts? Would love to know how their personality differs. I read that bassetts are the more laid back versions of bloodhounds.

I manage a bike shop and plan on training my Bassett to be the shop potato. My other dogs were all way too hyper to be shop dogs.

Would love any tips and tricks to be as ready as we can be.
