Such dogs really need a specially shaped feeding bowl that keeps their ears out of the dog food. So easy to read human emotions into that face. For the most part the bassets I've encountered have been very friendly dogs, but I don't think I've ever seen one at an agility trial. BION: There have been St. Bernard, several Great Danes.and a mastiff that lumbered around, not exactly competitive, but dog & owner were enjoying themselves which is the whole point at CPE trials.
BTW: AM I alone in remembering Cleo the basset hound in the TV series "The People's Choice?"
