great pics Mimzy, your dog is sharp!
My wife said she would like a basset hound. I hear they are really good around children.
he LOVES him some little kids. omg. he has a freak attack if he hears a kid crying...has to run over and cover the child in slobbery kisses. My Folks have a friend w/an autistic 3yr old, and this kid literally drapes himself over Roland's middle and pulls on his ears and rides him all over the house, and steady old Roland just sits there waggin' his tail the whole time.
Every dog is an idividual, so you have to be careful until you really know your dog, but Bassests as a breed are historically good with kids.
....we got Roland from a Basset rescue agency, no need to buy purebred dogs, even if you want a puppy - plenty of homeless beauties out there.
