Basset Hounds?
Basset Hounds?
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
Re: Basset Hounds?
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.

All my best learning experiences start with a problem I need to solve.

Thanks everyone… have made great inroads into Bassets all over the world, but more especially here in Spain. We're still looking and considering.
Re: Basset Hounds?
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
Re: Basset Hounds?
All dogs are cute, adopt one from a rescue kennels, preferably an ugly one.
Re: Basset Hounds?
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.
Re: Basset Hounds?
Sorry jukim,it's unclear,did you adopt a basset or another breed?
Re: Basset Hounds?
Yes sorry, my mistake… my hands are too quick for my brain not a Basset she's a bit of a Spaniel/Collie cross and has stolen our hearts.
Re: Basset Hounds?
X breeds normally full of character....I love really scruffy ones!
Re: Basset Hounds?
Congrats. theres nothing like the love of a good dog
Re: Basset Hounds?
I'm so pleased you've adopted a dog even though it isn't a Basset Hound!
