We bought our beautiful basset baby from a top breeder in the UK but prior to buying him we thoroughly researched the breed. We contacted the local welfare people who were a mine of information, i would recommend this to anyone as when stanley arrived to bless our lives we were not in for any suprises only positive ones. He fits in perfectly and we could not envision any other breed that would enhance our lives the way our basset does on a daily basis. We are also still in contact with the welfare people and take Stanley on play dates with their bassets which he thoroughly enjoys, he usually sleeps for 4 hours solid after the visit. We love the breed so much that we are now looking at adopting a welfare basset. Keep up the good work, hope the snow doesn't get too bad over there, Karen, Robert, Jamie and the shining star in our lives "Stanley"<BR> <BR>> To: dailydrool@dailydrool.org<BR>> From: erlindsey@comcast.net<BR>> Date: Sun, 7 Feb 2010 11:54:38 -0600<BR>> Subject: Re: [Dailydrool] I wish everyone researched bassets<BR>> <BR>> The DAILY DROOL<BR>> An internet mail list designed to<BR>> entertain and inform basset hounds<BR>> and their people.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> ------------------------------------------<BR>> <BR>> ----<BR>> / \__<BR>> |\ / @ \<BR>> \ \_______| \ .: O<BR>> \ ##| | \__/<BR>> | ####\__/ \<BR>> / / ## \|<BR>> / /__________\ \<BR>> L_JJ \__JJ<BR>> -----------------------------<BR>> <BR>> Daily Drool Website:<BR>> http://www.dailydrool.com<BR>> <BR>> ***2010 Daily Drool Calendar***<BR>> http://www.cecilgraphics.com/DD2010/calendar.php<BR>> <BR>> Fundraising Information:<BR>> http://www.esthermstrom.com/A55B3D/ddFunds.nsf/byGroup?Open<BR>> <BR>> Dictionary of Common Drool Terminology:<BR>> http://mysite.verizon.net/msrandolph/<BR>> <BR>> Daily Drool Archives:<BR>> http://lists.dailydrool.org/pipermail/dailydrool-dailydrool.org/<BR>> <BR>> Old Daily Drool Archives:<BR>> http://oldarchives.dailydrool.org/dailydrool/<BR>> I've gotten to the point where, when people tell me they're <BR>> interested in getting a dog of a particular breed, I urge them to <BR>> contact a rescue group and ask questions about that breed before they <BR>> make a decision.
