I've noticed over the years that hounds are prone to ear infections... they need their ears cleaned out every week..have you checked its ears.?...this might be the odor you mention..its really foul smelling...and might be the reason she may be aggresive at times....there are a lot of skin folds that may be harboring bacteria also...I'M being told that bassets need fequent bathing to reduce this bacteria... bassets ,I understand can be very stubborn I'm told, and I'm learning that BAIT TRAINING IS A MUST..I never like baiting a dog to learn new habits, but realize with this breed we will have to...thanks for your response, I really do appreciate your comments...

Sounds like a typical hound to me...never owned a hound that I could let run around the yard...if the breeding is true, they want to hunt...its breed into them, they cant help it....as with any other pup,they will get into trouble ....chewing on things and such, our house was always full of rawhides and such to keep them busy...any pup we have ever had chewed....its them darn baby teeth...then they chew out of being bored..I am a firm believer that any dog needs a JOB to keep them happy.....even if a simple task like searching fot their treats.... as far as rescue dogs...and I'm sure I will get flack from this....been there ,done that....most older dogs are there because they have behavior problems and are messed up because the previous owner didn't know anything about the breed they owned, were cruel or abusive to them or were neglectful in careing for their pets..some of these dogs will never be right....don't get me wrong, there are a lot of great dogs that came from rescue shelters...I think getting a PUP from a shelter is a great idea, and dont have any problem doing that....I just feel better knowing the genetic history of a dog and knowing the faults of a specific breed that I'm one step ahead of the game..As a past breeder of beagles, I could guarantee you of the temperment of my pups and any faults they may have down the line.....I ONLY BRED MY DOGS RARELY....Always had a waiting list for my pups...I was not and will not buy from a puppy mill.. Someone that breeds just for profit.. thank you for being honest with your accesment of your hound...this is what I'm looking for...I am finding a pattern to what basset owners are telling me....this is what I wanted....

After losing our beloved beagle last week ,Taters and I have decided to look for a basset hound...the house is not the same without our beloved Casey...It is way to calm and quiet.. No begging at supper time..no asking for a roooool, no tat,tat,tat of her nails on the ceramic tile floor, and no chew toys to step on. Taters and I have to talk to each other way too much now. She told me to get with it and tear down the old dog pen and build a new one with a tile floor and and big enough for a stuffed chair so our new pup won't have to stay in a crate when were at work and until she is house broken....So you know why I haven't been here for the last couple of days...new pens about half done...found a women in AUBURN, NY whos dog will be having a litter in a couple of weeks..talked to her on the phone and waiting for an e mail with her addy to send a deposit...she didn't want one but I insisted as a show of our intent to buy...haven't heard from her today, but sure she was just busy...I and taters have raised and bred beagles for many years...why a basset...we dont know !... If anyone has one I would be very interested to know what you think of the breed....I know like other hounds about watching the ears and their weight (THE LITTLE MOOCHERS) and about the howling and the elongated spine...Trying to learn everything about the breed....If you have or had one ,I would sure like to hear from you and any advise is welcome...PLEASE... Taters is way, way to talkative and expect me to actually listen and answer her when she speaks...
