proper diet. Obesity can cause spine and
leg problems. Ears are susceptible to
infections. May suffer from bloat and skin
infections. Puppies are often delivered by
cesarean section.
From Scott & Amy, MN We are the proud parents of Blue. The thing I didn't expect from a basset
hound is her stubbornness, when she doesn't want to do something she won't, even
if she has done it before. She gets overexcited around kids (people her own
size). They are a really smart breed, so if they do something wrong you have to
correct it the first time and every time after, or they will pick up on it like
kids pick up a swear word.
