<DIV>My first Basset had a longer coat, they actually originated in France
in the 1800's and were popular over there, they were developed by the Count Le
Couteuix De Canteleu. he wanted a short legged dog who could with stand the
harsh terrain of Northwestern France. My Lucy was beautiful with lots of
mottling (speckling ) her top coat was rather course with a soft undercoat and
curly hair on her neck ( mane ) and curly fetlocks on her hind legs.
the man my son bought her from actually called us 7 months after we had her and
asked if he could buy her back from us, we paid $475.00 for her and he
offered us $1,500 we refused his offer, she also had the heavy loose
skin, she looked like she weighed 70 lbs, but she actually only weighed
50 . she was beautiful, I have never seen another Basset like her either.
not with the marking or the feathered coat.</DIV>
