I swear I didn’t take all the socks I can find to the backyard! I would never!!

Beck is 6 now months old.

He's super chill for a Basset Fauve de Bretagne.

I haven't heard him bark yet...

He just whines when he needs something or when he sees other dogs he wants to meet.

No messing around in the house, a real sweetheart.

Today while driving home I saw an SUV run over and kill chihuahua. In disbelief, I floored it to take a picture of the license plate. Then I spun around, called 911, and drove back to the dog. Multiple…MULTIPLE cars continued to run over the dog. I only had my reusable shopping bags which I used as make shift gloves and moved the dog to the side of the road. I waited for animal control. I was parked behind someone’s driveway. A man walks out. I say do you need me to move. He goes no. And that’s my dog. I said….. this is your dog? He goes “yeah. I guess animal control will get it”. I said you saw your dog get hit and left him in the road?
Then I fucking unleashed on him. He said he’d call the police on me. I handed him my phone to do so. He walked away.
Then I found out who he was. His wife wasn’t home. She owns a daycare. I found her email to let her know what a piece of shit her husband is.
Anyway here’s Orson snuggled in bed with his baby rail so he doesn’t jump off and hurt his back. I wish all dogs were loved so unconditionally.

I've been looking for better treats for my dog. He's still young (6 months) so we go though a lot of treats for training. He likes what we tried but doesn't seem to love anythig so far.

His favorites so far were dried liver and Hill's Prescription Diet soft baked treats, but he got annoyed by the liver being small bites and the soft treats are very expensive (over $15 per bag). Any suggestion?

I prefer not to give human food. He's been really good at not asking for food or bothering us during meals.

Any snood I get doesn’t hold my doggies ears that well as they are heavy and one shake and they pop out :(
Any recommendations ? Uk based

We have two 6 mo females. I would love some recommendations for harnesses that work with the basset bodies. They are both around 40 lbs. Thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated ❤️

Definitely a leisurely stroll since there was lots of "investigating" to do

Our sweet boy is 1! 🩵🎉🥳

Sir Tibbles Waddlesworth sometimes refuses to walk for lunch. His favorite is flat basseting in the middle of the street, rolling onto his back when you get near him.

But he’ll gladly go into the wagon, where he’s given the royal procession he so rightfully deserves! 😂

I have a question. My Luna (that's her name) is 10 months old and is starting to refuse kibble, which is unusual for her because she always ate it, but now she wants homemade food. I give her rice, chicken, carrots, and... She loves it, I give her pumpkin, but I wonder if it's possible for her diet to be homemade now? Instead of stressing her out by making her eat kibble.And another question, if you feed him homemade food, what kind of meals do you recommend I cook for her?

Weird patchiness to my basset’s outer ear. When touched the fur comes off in patches and with dandruff. It’s not happening anywhere else on his body?? It doesn’t seem to bother him but just wanted to know if anyone else experiences this kind of thing!

Hi all, I’ve posted in here before with all types of things since getting my basset, but I am still at a loss when it comes to potty training.

About a month and a half ago, I rescued a now 6.5 month old female basset. Literally for the first few weeks, she was doing GREAT with potty training, like literally only a hand full of accidents.

Since then, she’s been going through a very rough and intense fear period for the last couple of weeks. She got scared at a loud noise outside, and all potty training went out the window for about a week until she finally started to feel confident going outside again. The past week she’s seemed to have improving, but now is constantly going to the door just because she knows if we go outside she’ll get attention and treats, and has resorted to peeing inside again. When she does pee inside, she doesn’t even try to tell me she needs to go out, I’ll just look over and there she is, peeing in the floor. I can own up to the times when she’s very clearly been sniffing or sitting at the door, but the past couple days the only time she goes to the door, is when she wants attention and to get a treat.

This morning when we woke up, I immediately put her harness and leash on her, and as I was unlocking the door to go out, she squatted right in front of the door and peed. About 20-30 mins later as I was getting ready for work, she squatted in the hallway and peed again. Just now, she finished eating her food, and then squatted and peed a few minutes later.

She doesn’t have full access to my apartment, but the entire unit is carpet and it’s not the biggest so we spend most of our time in the living room together. She is crate trained and never goes to the bathroom in her kennel.

I’m just not sure what to do anymore and how to teach her that pottying inside = not good, pottying outside = good. I also feel like my apartment has started to smell like her personal bathroom and am getting very frustrated.

She gets treats and praise when she does potty outside, and I take her out very frequently. All tips appreciated!

Also, enjoy this picture of her playing with the bells after said accident after dinner. 🫠

Mr. Finn the bassador (otherwise known as Sir Snoozalot) refuses to come downstairs in the morning until he hears: 1) food being put into his bowl; and 2) my breakfast coming out of the microwave. Guess whose breakfast he's more interested in? Just curious to see if anyone else's bassets prioritize food or comfort in the morning!

What a demanding fella!

It’s Martha’s best life!
