Wayne,

I'm so sorry about this great loss. I can't even imagine how awful that would be! I think it's amazing that you are still able to find it in your heart to take in more that need a forever home. God bless you!

I have a russian blue mix, Bassett. I've also done quite a bit of research on the breed because of Bassett's very distinct personality. If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me and I'll do my best. I'm no expert, but I have had 3 yrs of experience with Bassett now.
