<div>Try telling a person that has never owned a basset hound that they're not "slow, sluggish, sleepy dogs with no ambition and very little brain." They think you're making it up. I often caution people that if they are picky housekeepers (or neat-freaks) that bassets are probably not the best dog for them.</div>

<div>Currently in our household, my sister and I have two basset puppies - Boomer 9 months old and Jefferson 5 months old. One is a foster failure and the other one a foster (soon to be a foster failure). Either I'm going to get my head examined or buy a case of wine. Given my insurance co-payment, I'm leaning towards the case of wine.</div>
