although I've been lurking for the past six months. I enjoy the info , the
comradie, the stories about the Bridge that give solace to all of us who have
Bassets at the Bridge. My husband and I have had Bassets for 42 years of our 43
year marriage. Our current Bassets were rescued from Carolina Basset Hound
Rescue--they are about 5, female is Miss Ellie [2010], male is
Buster[2009]. I am the grantwriter for CBHR and together we transport,
assist in the store, and attend events in the Raleigh-Durham NC area.Having
witnessed a husky attack on Sunshine, our first Basset, I know first hand
what damage they can do. It tore Sunshine's ear almost off and she was on
a line at the time in our backyard. My thoughts on huskys are
biased. I would ask them if they have enough liability insurance as a
group or individually to cover damages done by their dogs. I would also
remind them that often we choose a dog because it looks like us and perhaps we
mirror their behavior. I use dry humor to get my point across. I'm
sure you can state this more appropriately.</DIV>
