[Dailydrool] Are Bassets Expensive?

[AnitaW]

I read the article, and wondered where on earth they got the dollar amounts.
Smoking dope maybe??  For those of you who missed it, the article said
Whippets are the most expensive dog, next Bassets, and it said it cost about
4400 British pounds per year to keep a Basset.  A pound is worth a couple of
pennies less than $1.50 - so they're saying each Basset hound costs you
about $6,500 per year.  Woof, not mine!

Read this article and cannot really understand the ratings?  Is it because
we treat our bassets more like children?  We certainly try to give our Pixel
and Browser the best in health care and food.  However, maybe it is that
they require beds all over the house, special treats, extra tummy
rubs---anyone have any idea of the basis of this rather puzzling article?
Are there more health issues with our loving hounds?
