[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 287826, member: 84"] MWM I'm a huge fan of basset's, as I said. If it weren't for Betsy......she's basset/lab mix......my next pick would probably be one. I can't seem to live without one in the house. lol All my basset's have been huge love dogs (be picky about breeders though). And Betsy most certainly is. She'll crawl up into my lap at the slightest indication she's welcome.....and sometimes without it. lol My bassets could run and play with the kids, or laze around the house with me. Very versitile dogs. Their bark is HUGE. They, despite their appearance, can and will fiercly protect family. But they get on well with kids and just about everyone. I swear if Betsy had her way she'd have me adopt every stray cat in the neighborhood. Right now I feel sorry for her. Molly and Rowdy are feeling their age more and more, and leaving her with no one to play with. :frowny: And Bruce the cat only tolerates so much. lol My next choice is a great pyranese because I want/need a BIG dog as house protector who can also do well with kids ect. And because I fell in love with the one we had for short time. But I'm telling you.........if my neighbor around the corner doesn't keep their adorable basset puppy in the house........I just might waver. OMG he's so darn cute!! It ought to be criminal. Now if you don't want to big a dog......get a female basset, not a male. The males get huge compared to females. Just thought I'd warn ya. :happy: Hugs [/QUOTE]
