color=#000000 size=3>Hello, everyone--you have me alarmed! Is drooling
inevitable with Bassets?<BR>Is it always copious? Do I need to carpet my
house with oilcloth? I will<BR>be bringing Daisy home on June 8, and I'm
trying to prepare myself as much<BR>as possible for a Basset companion. I
would appreciate your advice!<BR>Thanks,<BR>Mary</FONT><BR></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000 size=4>Hi Mary, Just take up
the carpets put some washable area rugs down and</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000 size=4>you'll be fine.
Seriously, I have 4 Bassets and only 1 drools a lot. The one thing
they</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000 size=4>all do......drip water all over
the place from the water bowl. Bassets can also dirty a water bowl
super</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000 size=4>fast so be prepared to change the
water a lot. And enjoy your new hound.</FONT></DIV>
