[Dailydrool] Dogster features hounds

[Molly Thompson]

Dogster.com (http://www.dogster.com/dog-breeds/hounds) has a page on 
hounds and the main picture is of a very cute basset.  Also, their 
description of bassets is great. Here it is:

Like the Dachshund, the Basset Hound is low to the ground. Despite his 
small legs, he is a very beefy dog, usually weighing at least 50 pounds. 
His jowls are prominent and his loose skin may drag a bit on the floor. 
These hounds are natural clowns, friendly and outgoing and very good 
with children. In addition to the Hound bay, they use a low murmuring 
whine to get attention and are very food driven, which can be used in 
their training. They were bred as scent hounds and their large ears were 
developed to retain the scent of their prey.

I especially like the line about the "low murmuring whine to get attention."
