[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 288595, member: 84"] Hmmmm. I've had.........wait, let me count..........6 bassets total over the years. I don't recall one ever "smalling bad". Of course mine got monthly baths where I did their ears/glands.........But still. Now I will agree there is suppsoed to be a so called "hound" smell to them. But honestly......if you bath them.......it's not really there. My Mom is uber sensitive to smelly dogs (her dog is bathed once a week!) and she never noticed an odor with mine. by the way Molly is nowhere near a "hound" in any sense. Yet as a whole......she is far more dog stinky than Betsy and requires more baths because of it. lol And I gaurantee you my bassets could keep up with all the kids in the neighborhood. :D They'd run and play all day if the kids wanted to, or sit and snuggle with me. That bassets are lazy is a myth. No hunting dog is lazy. And basset's are hunting dogs. Just thought I'd toss that in there so you can make an informed decision. :) [/QUOTE]
