Winter Meetup!

“ Its great to see all the hounds together; its a great group of people. ”

“ Meeting other basset lovers was fun. I would love to do it again. ”

“ I'm really happy to be part of this group. It's so much fun to see all the hounds and the various shapes, sizes, and colors. It's great to be able to talk to other hound owners about our breed's unique characteristics! ”

“ We had a great time as usual! Our new basset, Murphy, had an excellent time! The weather was great as well! ”

“ Being a dog behaviorist, I feel dog parks can be dangerous for our bassets for a number of reasons. One being, out of control agressive dogs with ignorant owners. We had a 14 week old pup (Tucker) and did not want to expose it to dogs that did not have good social skills. The bassets excluded, there were many different breeds and in my observation most of these dogs were in a highly excitable state. In the short time we were there there was a couple dog fights. We also do not know the health background on these dogs. So we can potentially put our dogs in a unhealthy situation. Maybe we can find a place we can meet with only our dogs. I just think dog parks are a bad idea. Sorry, but thats just my opinion. ”

“ I'm so glad these meetups are continuing. The more we go to, the more we recognize people and hounds and feel more comfortable visiting with one another. ”
