<DIV style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" class=tab> I work for a very, very well known professional handler and her husband who is a former <SPAN id=misspell-0 class=mark>AKC</SPAN> judge. I was telling "the Husband" how much I love my bassets and how my dream is to own a puppy that I can begin showing. His response was, "Good God, why? Hounds smell and the best thing I can say about them is that they are good eaters!"</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" class=tab><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" class=tab> I had to laugh because of course he was right but I could not believe that in all his years of handling and judging he had failed to recognize their charm and love of life<VAR id=yui-ie-cursor></VAR>!!! What is sweeter or more charming then a basset running to you or "talking"? How can you not love them?</SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
