<DIV><B>Subject:</B> Breeding ~ how does it work with Basset hounds?</DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><EM><FONT size=3>Happy New Year all
Droolers</FONT></EM><BR><EM><FONT size=3></FONT></EM> <BR><EM><FONT
size=3>I have been reading for months now and enjoy the Drool. I have
learned much from everyone but have</FONT></EM><BR><EM><FONT size=3>not read
anything yet about how Basset Hounds actually breed. I am asking because I
have a 3 year</FONT></EM><BR><EM><FONT size=3>old male that is VERY handsome and
many ladies have come to call but I am not sure how to go
about</FONT></EM><BR><EM><FONT size=3>this! So, one day, a female and her
owner came over and my dog was frothing from the mouth
but</FONT></EM><BR><EM><FONT size=3>so afraid of the female (I think) he put his
head in the recycle box and figured he was hiding out in
there.</FONT></EM><BR><EM><FONT size=3>I tried everything I could think
of: First we walked them together to get them used to each other,
All</FONT></EM><BR><EM><FONT size=3>my dog would do was bark!! Oh great,
call attention to yourself outside...lol Then we let them play
in</FONT></EM><BR><EM><FONT size=3>the garage together, thought they could get
acquainted and maybe he wouldn't be fearful. No such
luck.</FONT></EM><BR><EM><FONT size=3>He was trying to hide. Then we put
them outside in the run together, she wanted to play, he wasn't
too</FONT></EM><BR><EM><FONT size=3>interested as he was standing behind the
door wanting in. I am at a loss. This hound wants to
hump</FONT></EM><BR><EM><FONT size=3>my Chihuahua daily and me too if I let
him. Why isn't he interested in a female dog in heat? Then
I</FONT></EM><BR><EM><FONT size=3>resorted to letting them in my house, which I
found out was wrong to do as my house got dirty and </FONT></EM><BR><EM><FONT
size=3>all the male would do was run around and cry? Does anyone
understand this problem??? HELP.</FONT></EM><BR><EM><FONT size=3>Someone
told me that Bassets don't breed alone, they need human help because they are
short and</FONT></EM><BR><EM><FONT size=3>their bodies are long...is this
true???? My goodness, I thought nature would take its course...So, I
find</FONT></EM><BR><EM><FONT size=3>myself asking the Drool for advice. I
noticed on all the Doctor programs on T.V. they ask
embarrassing</FONT></EM><BR><EM><FONT size=3>questions so now I am asking
experienced Droolers if anyone has breed their hound and how to do
it?</FONT></EM><BR><EM><FONT size=3></FONT></EM> <BR><EM><FONT
size=3>Thanks very Much, Nancy</FONT></EM><BR><BR>
