[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 287663, member: 84"] Basset hounds are pretty low maintenance. mother in law and father in law adopted one in their 60's and loved her to death. It started a heavy trend for basset's in this family lol. Very loveable breed, enjoy exercise but not hyper, good with kids but equally good with adults. Of course you have to consider the drool factor which some people really can't handle. I don't mind it at all. I've owned 4 basset's myself.......drool production depends on the individual dog. lol Fran King Charles Spaniels are another breed I happen to adore. I've watched them in dog shows for years. I'd tend not to get a hyper breed. Because when you bring them into the home it may not be a factor but later down the road it may become a problem. I'm partial to big dogs myself. I have a feeling that even at 60 I'll still be wanting my big dogs. lol Small dogs are cute.......and I can enjoy them when they're someone else's but to me.....they don't quite fit the role of "dog" in my mind. So odds are I'll be the teeny lil old lady who walks the enormous dog around town. LOL I'm thinking of adding a great pyrenese (sp) once I'm finished with school. Both Molly and Rowdy are showing their ages quite a bit. I adore that breed. And it's a good fit for me. :) husband doesn't get an opinion. ;) [/QUOTE]
