    Ahrooooos to Diane Morgan!

If you are looking for a how-to book on training your Basset hound to behave like a "good dog", you probably won't like this book.  However, if you are looking for a book that tells you the peculiarities of the Basset breed, or tells you surprising things to expect with a Basset, or tells you about life with a Basset, then this book is everything you want/need to know.  Bassets are called "clowns" for a reason ... well, actually, for many reasons!  And most of those reasons are included in this book.  If you are a finicky housekeeper, or if you think that everything should have its place (and you weren't thinking it should be on a shelf right below ceiling level), you may not see the humor in Bassets.  If you get upset by clothing disappearing out of the clothes hamper and down the throat of a Basset (and out a different route), you may not see the humor in Bassets.  If you want a dog who will walk beside you and not pay attention to all the wonderful sights and smells in the grass, you may not see the humor in Bassets.  But if you enjoy a good laugh, especially if you are fortunate enough to be owned by one of these wonderful creatures, then this book deserves to be in your library where it can be enjoyed over and over again.

    Despite the "bad" images
  

*by B***A on Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2013*

The book was great, made me laugh and thought probably noone would buy a basset after reading it. However, we're so pleased with the plus side, Lucy is our fourth tricolor basset. She trained easily, cares deeply about our aches and pains and makes us laugh daily. While the previous dogs were with us, each about 12 years, we had children around who might possibly have kept secrets from us concerning bad behavior. This time we're on our own, and sometimes are quite astounded by her antics. Examples: opens ladies purses in search of items for personal use, i.e. lipstick (perfect application I must say), one a day boxes of pills (only Saturdays were gone and they were vitamins), tissues). We live in a retirement community where dogs are accepted (except in the large wel coming area which contains the front desk, mail boxes etc.).  She learned right away that if she jumped up and pushed a big button, the doors would open. Voila! She can run like a greyhound with a fiend, but, as the book says, when she doesn,t want to go a certain way, she'll sit and ignore all pleas.

    A book on the antics of Basset Hounds
  

*by D***M on Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2017*

This is a cute book of basset stories and not really designed for training.  The stories give you insight to the bassets behavior.  My mom who has alzheimers enjoys the stories as they are comical.  If you need a training book, I suggest Joan Urban's book A New Owners Guide to Basset Hounds
