Basset Hounds?

Postby jukim » Thu Jul 30, 2015 11:32 am

We have recently lost our beloved 15-year-old rescue Basset Hound and are heartbroken. We know there are millions of dogs looking for homes both here and in the UK (ours was ex-puppy farm in Wales and we regularly donate to as many was we can) but have our hearts firmly set on another Basset Hound. Does anyone know of a Basset rescue or possibly breeders? Thanks.

There is a Facebook page, basset hounds UK, you need to join, so I cannot say anything about the group. Also Basset Hound Britain

Thanks for that, I was hoping for a Spanish rescue or breeder who maybe has an older one. There are very many in the UK but still hoping for local.

Thanks everyone… have made great inroads into Bassets all over the world, but more especially here in Spain. We're still looking and considering.

We are in the same position re westies. we contacted the terrier club of spain but as its spain no replies to emails sent. puppy farming is a big worry you really dont know where to look for legitimate breeders unless you want to spend thousands on a show dog. we wonder about just getting another breed as nothing will replace are old dog and we worry about compairing. a friend has a dog of the same breed and while its lovely to cuddle them you know it isnt your dog,ie the one you lost

All dogs are cute, adopt one from a rescue kennels, preferably an ugly one.

I know what you mean elusive, we felt the same. Although we'd always love another Basset and will someday have another one I'm sure, for the moment we've adopted one from a lady who is returning to the UK and couldn't take her .. she's 3 years old and gorgeous.

Yes sorry, my mistake… my hands are too quick for my brain :wtf: not a Basset she's a bit of a Spaniel/Collie cross and has stolen our hearts. :thumbup:

I'm so pleased you've adopted a dog even though it isn't a Basset Hound!
