I raised a litter of puppies from my Bassett Hound and we kept one. As the mother aged we noticed she would run alongside the daughter literally bumping into her and she was gradually going blind. She lived to be about 13. However, she could not be out in the yard on her own, it was pathetic she would put her head into the air and sniff to try to see where she was/ Finally we stayed with her when she had to go out, kept her on a very short leash which kept her close to our legs, had her bed by our chairs. Anything so that she was never alone and she slept with her daughter.

She was wonderful and we enjoyed every minute of her life. Having a blind dog is basically like having a blind person in the house, you just do everything you can to make them feel secure.
