their intelligence cannot be measured on the same scale as regular DOGS!! The
Bassets in my home have ME trained not the other way around and I have
been to many training sessions,visited in depth with dog psychiatrists,
and attended Petfinder seminars focusing on dog training. Bassets are far
more intelligent than any of these so called professionals. Bassets take
advantage of humans to get what they want, they also do not over exert
themselves, they use that "feel sorry for me look" to take even the tastiest
delicasies from me so that I end up eating a peanut butter sandwich for
dinner and give them my food. And they disguise their intelligence with that
cute little stupid knot on top of their heads. If Bassets are not intelligent
then I am a moron because they have outsmarted me numerous
times!</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
