I have read about the breed, but even funny stories like the dog getting its ears in the water when it drank is good to know. Prior to researching the breed, I did not know about the drooling, so even something along the lines of how often and how much on the drool. Please note that I have been around St. Bernards and Mastiffs so I have seen way more drool than I have needed (lol), so a little perspective on having a Basset hanging out with us.
I am told that he is really energetic and on the young side (1-2 years old). I honestly think that if he hasn't already been adopted, there will be a good chance he gets his forever home this weekend. I have fostered a dog in the past and my last 4 dogs have all been rescue dogs, so I recognize that their backgrounds aren't always known and they don't necessarily follow the "standard" (they are mostly "All American" dogs). The rescue gets a lot of mixed breed dogs like lab mixes, pit mixes, and Chihuahuas (they are affiliated with a Chihuahuas, rescue through a relative of one of the workers), so getting a purebred happens occasionally. I believe they had a Basset about 1 1/2 years ago and he adopted out very quickly.
Thanks again to all-I enjoy the information and the anecdotes!
