|  Our new hound with pics
We are now a proper Basset pack! We got Margot a couple weeks ago (we are now 3 hounds). She is kinda a rescue.A friend of ours had her and wanted to show and then breed her but she wasn't shaping up to the anticipated show quality so had to let her go...so she's ours! She's 7 months.

If I had a Bassett, Id melt in its presence. Just look at them eyes! That is one of the cutest dogs on earth even in adulthood!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAMARA!

Awesome pics! But that is horrible that they would get rid of the dog just because it can't be shown. | |

Thank you Ladies! She is a real sweetie -has settled in so well and our other two girls liked her instantly. We have a huge soft spot for the open tri black blankets.  Quote:

Margot is not big or wrinkly enough (I wish that was our criteria for beauty lol )

In any case, she sure is a cutie! | |

Some of the best family pets I've met were show dogs that didn't quite make the cut. The owner takes the responsibility to place them in a loving environment and the dog lives happily ever after.
Congratulations, Tamara. She's a beauty. | |

Why do you think breeder sell the pet quality dogs? Or rehome some of their older animals once they are done showing? It would be impossible for someone to keep all the dogs and you can take a look at almost any show breeder and see that they follow the same practices.

It would be terrible if they just dumped the dog, but somehow I don't think going to live with Tamara and her other hounds would be such a bad life. | |

Awesome!! Your bassets are adorable! I'm jealous that you get to have 3!
I have a 5 month old basset puppy.. I grew up with two when I was younger, now that my wife and I wanted to get a dog the basset was an obvious choice:   | |

Thanks everyone! I told Margot you all thought she was pretty - I don't think she understood but gave a big wag and kiss
TMenton what a beautiful pup you have!! Beautiful eyes. I think a girl? I must admit 3 are 3 x as great.
Whilst we are on Bassets a few more pics | |

That is so cute. I love the last photo of the Basset Parade. They have the most soulful expressions. They look to be quite happy with each other as well. | |
