I am new to this site. (I actually found the link on a basset site earlier this week.) My husband and I are owned by two hounds, basset hounds to be exact. Max is a 2 year old red and white, and Oscar is an 8-week old tri-color. Bassets are very much hounds. They have a beautiful, deep bark, and wonderful personalities. We just brought Oscar home today, so we are still learning about his personality, but Max is the most laid-back dog that I have ever had. We currently have a large, fenced-in yard, which is a good thing, because bassets will follow their noses just about anywhere. (Sorry I don't have any pictures to share right now. I'll have to figure out that process a little later.)
