<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I know I am a little late responding to this
thread. But as Brudder Elwood would say, I had to give this one a little
think. But yes the Bad A** Basset Brothers are perfect hounds.
As long as you take into consideration that they are basset
hounds. For the most part they are very well behaved. They are great on the
leash except when we see a person out on a walk and they pull with all their
might to get to said person because everyone knows they are an adoring fan out
trying to catch a glimpse of the brothers and to pet them. They are very well
mannered at home until someone comes to the door, and then it is mass hysteria,
you'd think that they were teenage girls and Justin Bieber just walked into the
house. Ruger squeals with delite and wiggles his whole body, Colt will
whine, wiggle his whole body and sometimes do a mini basset 500. But given
a few minutes they settle back down and become very good, well mannered dogs.
They are well mannered and respectful of the momma until it is dinner bowl time,
Ruger gets very demanding on dinner time, and after dinner kong time...he is
very voicetrous at this time. They mind the momma pretty well when I call
them in, tell them its bed time, or potty time, give the belly for wipe downs
etc, Not so much with the dad. They are great with baths, toebone
cuttings, ear cleanings and even vet visits. They haven't every really tore
anything up (God I hope that I didn't just jinx myself) other than paper or card
board out of the recycle bin...usually as a display that I have been a bad
momma, because I have spent to much time away from the house. They have however
tore up a few of my undies...chewed holes in the crotches...Only my males
hounds, and every male hound that I have had has done this one, and I have never
understood it...just chalked it up to being a male. But they have yet to
bother a TV remote, counter cruised (floor crumb vaccuum doesn't count), or
anything else of value. Okay they did chew holes in the walls, and in their beds
but that was before the brown truck delivered their brains, so I don't count
that either. They are not barkers (not counting treeing squirrels), or howlers
(not counting Colt's sleep howling at 2-3am). And they are not door dashers
(threatened them with shock collars if they started that one). So all in
all, and considering they are not "all I wanna do is please the humans" type of
dogs. Hey they are basset hounds, human slave owners....they are pretty good and
I dare say that they are pretty close to being perfect basset hounds/slave
owners. </FONT></DIV>
