Molly May the purebred Basset Hound at 2 years old—"True to her breed, Molly May of Best Buddy Bassets is a sweet, affectionate and loyal friend. She loves to go "bye-bye" and go on walks where her nose takes the lead."
"My wife and I did a LOT of research before we decided to adopt a dog—at least a year's worth. It seemed like every question we had was answered by your site—housetraining and training in general, feeding, walking, etc. We learned a lot from your site alone, and narrowed our list of compatible breeds down to a select half dozen or so. About a year after we started planning, we went to the local Humane Society and met all the dogs there. We settled on a young adult (approximately one year old) Basset Hound that was skinny and had been walking the streets of the city for a while before he was turned into the Humane Society by a Good Samaritan. He seemed to choose us, too—he sort of seamlessly settled into our lives like he had been there all along. Now, Walter is as happy as ever, and spends his days acting like a big dork and stepping on his own ears. He's always happy to meet another person or dog, and loves sitting on his rug in the living room with us and chewing on a bully stick for hours. He tries to play fetch but doesn't quite get that it requires him to actually get up and move!"
"I urge everyone that reads your site to rescue and adopt dogs instead of buying puppies! The Humane Societies and shelters are all full of beautiful, loving dogs who want nothing more than to come into your home—and for many of them, adoption is the only escape from death. Walter has become a loving part of our family and is basically "the perfect dog" (as perfect as any dog can be!) and we didn't have to pay some shoddy pet store or irresponsible breeder hundreds of dollars or thousands of dollars for him."

"Sophiee is a purebred Basset Hound shown here at 9 months old. She lives on a farm with 150 acres. She loves to run around and explore. She is very sweet and loves to show affection. Her favorite hobby is burying her treats and bones. Sophiee is a total comedian when you are in need of a good laugh. She loves to play soccer and she has become quite the athlete! :)"

Betty the 7-year-old Basset Hound, though very stubborn, is the best dog her owners have ever had. As you can see, she is very laid back and loves attention.

Basset temperament should always be friendly with never an indication of sharpness or viciousness.
