[Dailydrool] maureen ~~ I can only tell you my experience with bassets

[William Bartlett]

I've had a long line of used bassets as well as a few bloodhounds since 1982. (Never had a new one.) All came here relatively old except for a couple and all have died of old age in their sleep with the exception of 2 who had cancerous tumors. Other than that never had any significant health problems out of nearly 40+.

Thanx,



Duff

Home of used bassets since 1982.

Never ask a furniture salesman for a stool sample!

Its never tomorrow, its never yesterday--its always today.

I have a 7 y/o and a 3 
y/o, both in excellent health.  No issues other than the usual nail 
clipping, teeth cleaning, vaccinations, heartworm prevention, etc.  Oh, and 
the occasional splash-and-dunkfest in the bathroom (otherwise known as basset 
bath).  I don't look for trouble.  I read what others post about 
their bassets' problems and the remedies and save these posts in a 
file I call "basset buddies."  I will need this folder, and the fabulous 
Drooler advice it contains, in the future as my bassets age.  My 
opinion?  There's nothing like a good old hound dog, especially a basset 
hound.  :o)  Relax.

  I'm getting really scared reading all these stories 
  about Basset's and all their stomach issues. I never had a Basset before, so 
  I'm getting terrified of all the things I'm reading on this site listing all 
  the problems these dogs can have! Henry is 4 months old and I'm used to lap 
  dogs ( poodles and a Bichon of 15 years) and Henry is the first Basset I've 
  ever owned. Are they sickly dogs? Are they prone to all kinds of different 
  issues? It's like owning a Toyota; you never have a problem with yours until a 
  thousand other people have issues with theirs and now you have nothing but 
  problems with yours! Please tell me that not all Basset's are prone to 
  illnesses.
