One of the most photogenic, gentle, and lovable of all dogs, the basset can also be stubborn and independent, which means that it usually requires firm obedience training. This book describes the basset's origins and characteristics in detail, and offers expert advice on purchasing, training, feeding, grooming, and health maintenance.
Before welcoming a bassett hound puppy to our home, this was one of the books we chose to invest in. Well worth it - especially for children. Easy to read, clear pictures (and lots of them), and helpful tips and tricks for dealing with a particularly stubborn breed.
