[Dailydrool] Basset weights

[Mary Wilson]

Paddi B Basset (whose official name is Sunset's Descanso Princess -- she
came from a KC breeder) weighs about 50 pounds. She goes up and down a bit.
(Well, honestly, she doesn't. She goes up a bit and we cut back on her food,
and then she goes down a bit!) She looks perfect at 50 pounds -- well
defined waist and not too wide behind.

Vernon Q Basset (whose official name is Vern, and who came from the local
SPCA) weighs closer to 60 at his ideal weight.

I took Paddi to obedience class when she was younger (please don't ask), and
the trainer referred to her as an "old-fashioned English style basset." This
is in Canada. She seemed to associate the smaller size with American hounds.

Mary, for Paddi B (she starves we!) and Vernon Q (she does!)
