5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious, down-to-earth and absolutely true!!!!!, 3 Jun 1998
By A Customer
This is a terrific book for anyone considering being acquired by a basset hound. Anyone already ensnared will find themselves saying, "my dog does that too," or "how did she know that?"

These dogs are different and so are those of us with whom they share their lives. The book gives a great deal of good, practical information as opposed to some which try to apply esoteric theories or ideas best suited to other breeds. More importantly, it gives the reader a real taste of what life with this breed can be like.

These dogs aren't for everyone -- but those once truly smitten rarely go astray -- search the web and you will find links and rings galore. More than once I laughed out loud causing my snoozing lap basset to glance up at me to ensure that everything was as it should be and that I wasn't about to get up and disturb his post-dinner nap.

I have several books on bassets and this, by far, is my favorite.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you own a Basset or plan on getting one... BUY THIS BOOK!, 8 Oct 1998
By A Customer
Being owned by two Bassets myself, the stories were funny and easy to relate to. The tips on taking care of a Basset Hound are very useful and helpful. They are a unique breed...indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars All lovers of basset hounds MUST read this book!, 26 Feb 1999
By A Customer
Just like the basset hound, this book elicits a mixture of emotions--funny, sad, enlightening, and always entertaining. The basic information about the breed is very helpful, but the anecdotes about bassets are the part that should not be missed. Any basset owner or lover will recognize characteristics of his own pet in these touching stories. It's a book that I plan to sit down and read again soon--just for the fun of it.
