<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi fellow droolers;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Recently I read a few comments on bassets that
don't (<U>seem</U> not to) drool much. I wanted to relate this experience to
anyone with such a claim.....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Soon after adopting my first basset I was doing
some "proud mamma bragging" to a non-basset but furkid loving friend of mine.
She was pressing me about the notorious habit bassets have of excessive
drooling, not having much slave training behind me I emphatically denied such
tales..."not MY Cody". She then invited me to bring this remarkable non
drooling basset to her office, her brother it seems had two bassets and just
couldn't wait to meet my Cody. We waited in the pristine marble and mirror
lobby, it was a small family run business, BUT very nicely appointed. It took
her a while to return with her brother and in the mean time my sweet hunk
of a man decided to kick in his drool gene. When they returned to greet us
Cody really let lose with a big head shake and enough drool to cover the lobby
and humans too. He also seemed to have cause to immediately shed about three
pounds of hair with that deadly shake. Hair and drool plastered everywhere.
Imagine that. I was forever humbled. Since that time I am much more informed,
thankfully by the wonderful people on the daily drool, and by my second hound
who seems to carry all the traits that "wild child bassets"
possess.</FONT></DIV>
