The Basset HoundScent Hound
  Bassets from Harmony Hounds
The low-slung Basset Hound is a hunting dog who uses scent to find game. It's a great family pet with big, sorrowful eyes that challenge the strongest owner's abilities to adjust the Basset's habits. They need moderate exercise and should be confined when alone - they tend to follow their nose. They are low maintenance except for their ears, but will not make a good pet for anyone with an aversion to drool.

Book Suggestions
We STRONGLY recommend that you get your dog from a respectable breeder or rescue organization. Pet store puppies may get their dogs from Puppy Mills that normally breed only for profit, not quality or concern for the puppy or its eventual owner.
If you would like help locating a breeder or rescue agency near you please E-Mail PGAA ( ita408@comcast.net), and let us know your city/state and the type of dog you are looking for. Do not assume that PGAA has qualified all of the breeders or rescues on this site. Do your own check of each breeder or rescue -- be sure that you are comfortable with the organization before you buy, adopt or turn-over a dog.  Rescue Links | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
