<DIV>My definition of a " good " dog is awfully simplistic. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. Is fairly well house trained. </DIV>
<DIV>2. Doesn't destroy household items--i.e. pillows, shoes, window sills, etc.</DIV>
<DIV>3. Loves you back.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But, trust me, over the years, we have loved the "bad" dogs unconditionally, too. And even the</DIV>
<DIV>house trained goes out the window when the hounds are sick or old. Some of our bad guys have</DIV>
<DIV>been the most entertaining. I cannot imagine owning a perfectly behaved dog. For heaven's sake,</DIV>
<DIV>isn't that why we like bassets?</DIV>
