  1. basset hounds are one of the most beautiful dogs. they are fantastic with kids, and the become very attached to their owner(s). i suggest definatly getting one. but if you are usually away or not at home basset hounds health rapidly decreases.
    our basset hound is a female and she has had 4 litters of gorgeous puppies. if anything basset hound would be one of the most lovable dogs.
    but bassets cost around $1000 and eat a lot. they need a large enclosed backyard to mantain physical health andi suggest keeping them as an outside dog as they may become very attached to the couch.
