<DIV>Rather like Blue Bassets, the Lemon basset is even more elusive.</DIV>
<DIV>A true Lemon is almost albino. Yes, the lemon is blonde - so blonde
as to be lighter than buff.</DIV>
<DIV>We have a Lemon currently, her name is Pearl and she is on our website -
she's doing so well she is scheduled for a dental next week!! I was bred
by a breeder, grew up outside a show ring, whelped by bassets, have always had
bassets and am now ruled by a rotating population of 100 daily. I
myself have only seen 9 in my lifetime, including our Pearl.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Commonly we are told at surrender that a owner has a "lemon" basset.
We pretty commonly know this means the following:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Born white, AKC registration was sent in early on litter registration
before the pups color came in.</DIV>
<DIV>At the sale (used to be 6 weeks in CA, its now 8 weeks by law - pups should
NEVER leave this young!! AHHH) when a new owner purchases this pup, AKC
registration is following, it reads Lemon.</DIV>
<DIV>To someone who is uneducated, they think this red and white basset, or tan
and white is a lemon, it's not.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I once had to sit in a puppy millers home with an undercover police officer
by my side, while completing owner surrender agreements for 36 bassets that she
was "giving us". As each dog was brought out this person filled out rabies
certs (yes, illegal), and listed each of these dogs as "Lemons". In fact,
these were Mahogany and Whites. This person had been over breeding and
selling pups throughout the Antelope Valley, San Bernardino, Riverside and Los
Angeles for years, and calling them Lemons. They are not.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Miss Pearls miracle has happened - her last checkup shows a perfect blood
panel, lung X-rays are good, and mammary tumor has not grown - she went into
heat on me 3 weeks ago!! Obviously not the train wreck that came into
Daphneyland in December - her recovery is indeed a miracle, and everyone who
donated is responsible for helping her find her miracle. Pearl's dental
will be performed next week. Oh, to kiss her face without holding
one's breath - more than we ever thought would be possible!</DIV>
