seeking Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 i think me an my girl are gonna foster a basset hound. mostly this decision is based on the fact that they look like a hippo and it makes me laugh like crazy every time we see one. i dont know shit else about them though. they cool dogs or what?

injury Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 dogs with skin folds like that need to be cleaned extra thoroughly and carefully. they can get infected pretty easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stresssack Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I hate my friends Basset hound. The motherfucker does nothing but bark, run around like a retard, and smell like shit. I like most dogs but I've never liked one of these ugly fuckers....` Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autoteller Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 it depends on the dog beforehand.. i've seen retarded ADD stricken basset hounds, and i've seen ultra chill, ultra cuddly basset hounds. it depends on the amount of attention you give it, and how much room it has to do it's own thing.

DocOne Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 any kind of hounds are definatly my favorite kinda dogs... Most of them are pretty layed back once they arent a puppy and wont always annoy you for years and years, but pups are always fun to play with. personally, im not a fan of the low-rider, flappy, foldy dogs like bassets, but we have a beagle, and she's awesome. I'd say go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeking Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 well, all im doing is fostering the thing till it gets adopted, so im not making any long term commitment. and if it howls all rowdy, i got a bark collar for that midget legged motherfucker.

earl broclo ESQ Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I haven't read much of this thread, so if I'm repeating myself.... Basset hounds like to howl, so they're loud. I saw someone already said they need to be cleaned frequently. I've heard they have leg problems more often than not, so it could get expensive. I knew someone who had one, and it was old and loyal, but barked like a retard at nothing. It also dropped ass like a machine. So you'll be able to say "it was the dog" after 3 weeks and probably get away with it. *edit: I see the howl thing was mentioned above me.

john_gacy Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Wasn't the dog on DOH named Flash? I had a teacher in college who would bring his Basset Hound to class. When I asked him what his dog does during class, he replied that "he chews gum off the seats and farts." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 they are midget bloodhounds. not necessarily loud, but almost guaranteed. bloodhounds are loud dogs too, but my second one is quiet all the time. it takes hellfire to get him to bark or howl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r o n d a Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 i had 2 basset hounds growing up. the first one lived until 15 which is apparently insane for the breed, and the other one just turned 12. like most hounds, they are short haired and pretty oily. they can carry quite the oder, but so can almost any dog. both our basset's were never very loud, they would get into the occasional barking fit, but it was nothing i would call excessive. one thing i didnt see anyone mention, is how incredibly stubborn they can be at times, which is either the most frustrating thing or hilarious thing depending on the situation. they will pack the pounds on if you dont walk them, and will sleep all day. super loyal, and very well behaved around kids and strangers. i say go for it.

Ferris Bueller Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 For whatever reason, I think of "beagle" when I hear "basset hound". Beagles get my vote as dumbest and most annoying dogs, ever. My friend's fiance had one, then he let her get a beagle pup. Now it's going to be double the retarded howl-bark. So fucking grating and annoying.
