[Dailydrool] Wanted : Suggestions for Ground Cover Ideas for Basset Owners

[Esther Strom]

You don't say where you live. My parents have bermuda grass which their basset 
mix has not been able to destroy (not for lack of trying.) However, bermuda 
grass only thrives in tropical climates (they're in Florida.) If you live 
somewhere warm, I'd consider it.
