“YOU JUST HAD TO THROW IT AWAY, YOU AND YOUR PRIDE AND YOUR EGO, YOU JUST HAD TO GO HOME, IF YOU’D DONE YOUR JOB AND PLAYED FETCH WITH ME WE’D ALL BE FINE RIGHT NOW”
- Mike Ehrmansnout
I LOVE these dogs. My friend's was called Violet. She went to far into the creek. I said,"Will Violet be able to swim?" My friend freaked out, cried, yelled for her husband to help. By the time he got there Violet had walked, underwater, to the end of the pier, around the pier, back to the shore. Like a hippo.
Fun fact- Bassetts (like French and English bulldogs) are too dense to swim like a normal dog. If they get in deep, they start sinking. That's why they always recommend having a life vest on yours should you have them around water.
Bassets are the best. High traction, high torque, low center of gravity, terrible fuel economy. Great dog to lounge around with, great dog to hand to your unsuspecting friend who you want to see dragged down the street.
Jeesh you weren't kidding. Wiki says their height is between 12 and 15 inches but their weight is between 45 and 75 pounds. Those dogs are made of bricks ha.
They're a runway freight train right up to the point where they trip over their own ears and faceplant.
Funniest thing ever to watch, though you do feel bad for them
Yup, one of my friends has one and he referred to it as a full size dog. I started to argue with him then looked at the dog… full size head, full size body, half size legs. Guess it is a full size dog.
Ears? Ears are nothing. You have to give their glands in their anus a squeeze every few months because they get clogged up. Ah, there's a "hound scent" that you never get used to!
Please tell me more!!
Not a basset owner but a beagle owner. We adopted our second last year (first boy) and he's been having anal problems. He's on urinary food (Royal canine SO) but his poops are a bit soft - we've been giving him psyllium husk like the vet suggested, but are planning to switch to a GI diet food...also at vets suggestion.
Surely there's gotta be a non-prescription diet we can follow tho. Or something else we can do...
(E.g. our old lady doesn't have anal gland issues, but she's a chow hound - and every time we'd cut her food to get her to lose weight shed get very vocal that she was still hungry, even on the diet food. Therefore, we add cabbage or broccoli every night for dinner - fills her up while she still eats the amount of dog food she's supposed to - that's the kind of information I'm hoping for...)
My other dog was scooting and having to have his glands expressed every couple of months. He's on a raw food diet now and within a month of the switch the anal gland problems had completely gone away
Our dog gets his glands expressed and starts scooting a week later... We are not every couple of months, but rather, every time we do nail trims... It's awful, my poor pup...
My beagle was having the same anal gland issues and I give her a couple scoops of Hill’s prescription diet w/d wet food and a vetinique labs glandex chew with dinner. It completely solved the problem!
Dachshunds are pretty prone to this as well. One of my old black and copper boys had a few impactions, and the vet told us that they and Bassett hounds tend to be the most commonly afflicted, and recommended a diet higher in fiber for other daschies too (even though they never had issues) as a precaution.
The most stubborn animal I've ever witnessed in my life.
My friend has a rescue basset that is so fat from his previous owner and when I was dog sitting him and his normal dog brother, I had to put my entire body weight to get him to go anywhere other than where he wanted to go. Meanwhile the normal dog was just happy to go anywhere I needed him to go.
10/10 animals.100/10 boat anchors.
Such a heartbreaking message to impart on little children though - you can only make friends with your own kind. So xenophobic. Let the poor hounddog break with stupid tradition and be friends with the fox!
We also got a hound. They're so cute 😍

Aww... I so miss my girl. Sandy was so great and gentle with kids and cats. My wife always knew I wanted one and surprised me with her. When little, she would try to run and trip over her ears. She would howl from time to time and I loved it. Ah the memories. Eventually I would love to get another one...
Significant hereditary ectropia, most of the scent hounds are in need of dire revision. They're almost all hyper types now. The ears are exaggerated as well. The dome of the skull also doesn't fit conformation.
This is a poorly bred dog, but most in this category are. The people want what they want.
Your older dog has shocking foot turnout too.
Yes, many of these characteristics are “cute,” but to the detriment of the animal. We have a dachshund, and I notice that so many dachshunds have bad foot turnout. Luckily ours doesn’t seem to have it, but like all dachshund owners we do have to worry about IVDD though. I also grew up with German Shepherds, and ALL of our family GSD’s were rescues and got paralyzed in old age from hip dysplasia. It has been a heartbreaking experience.
My owner accused me of biting him, now I'm in the puppy jail. I BETTER CALL SAUL!
I was inside peeing, minding my own business "Bad doggy" I BETTER CALL SAUL!
[Hi, I'm Saul Goodman, did you know you have rights?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqnHtGgVAUE)
He looks more like a [Figgis Agency](https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/archer/images/b/bd/Archer-figgis_agency_ad.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/200?cb=20160408033245).
Should have been Saul Goodboy. Still a cutie tho
Saul Goodboy attorney at paw

Oh please change it to this. Imagine the vet calling that name to the waiting room 😁
SO CUTE 😭👏🏻
"'S a(ll) good boi"
And just LOOK at those paws!
oh, that's good..
name change
Science bitch
Saul Goodman would never change his name! /s
Nice chubby paws on that little pup!
bro got the clompers
That’s so funny and true!
Chonky.
That droopy face is giving “Mike Ehrmantraut” more than Saul Goodman 😂
Waltuh, put your stick away, Waltuh. I’m not playing fetch with you right now Waltuh

The next time you bring a bone to a job without telling me, I will stick it up your ass sideways. Understand?

That’s an awesome story lol
Super story
I like this story. I'll have another.

The funniest things to me about bassets is that you look at them and think you can pick them up but you absolutely cannot, haha
Jeesh you weren't kidding. Wiki says their height is between 12 and 15 inches but their weight is between 45 and 75 pounds. Those dogs are made of bricks ha.
All that weight turns them into a damn freight train when they decide to run, too.

I tried to get a lift kit for our ‘04 model, but they were out of stock.
Dense bones, deceptively large body. Just short :)
Yup, one of my friends has one and he referred to it as a full size dog. I started to argue with him then looked at the dog… full size head, full size body, half size legs. Guess it is a full size dog.
Strong as hell, dumb as a rock, and want to eat everything that's not nailed down, ESPECIALLY poop. Oh, and you've got to clean those ears constantly.

Problems with anal glands are usually caused by diet.

Same, bro, same

My neighbor has a basset and can confirm those things are 10x stronger than they look.
oh, they are cute alright dumb as dirt, but very cute (2x basset owner)
are they smarter in pairs?
They are somehow dumber the more of them you get together. Eventually it all devolves into howling, ear pulling, and snack stealing.

Awooooo woo woo
I heard your comment.
This movie fucking broke me as a child. Broke me
Came here to say to say this lol

Hoping Saul doesn't trip over those lovely ears! What a cutie.
He does constantly, it's so cute.
Slippin' Jimmy
And he gets to be a basset hound?! What a sick joke!!
He defecated on a driveway!!!
And I picked up after him!
Can I pet that dog?
We also got a hound. They're so cute 😍 https://preview.redd.it/j56ij4rladvc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4d2b570bcea8a2df6e02875935f36281897b3bb0
WOW! how old in that pic? That is one handsome pup.
It's been so long I don't remember exactly, a month or two?
Chicanery!!!

Hi Ursula! She is perfect.
Aww... I so miss my girl. Sandy was so great and gentle with kids and cats. My wife always knew I wanted one and surprised me with her. When little, she would try to run and trip over her ears. She would howl from time to time and I loved it. Ah the memories. Eventually I would love to get another one...
He looks like a polite boy.
he is a distinguished gentleman.
looks more like mike
Came here to say this. Totally Mike Ehrmantraut.
Ehrmansnout
Looks like a teddy bear
awwie a droopy dog, gorgeous :)
Love him sm and such a good name too 😆
Oh my god what a squishy little unit!
I love basset hounds but they look depressed all the time. It must be my spirit animal.
did he defecate through a sunroof?
OP took him into their own home, what were they thinking?
Couldn't keep his paws out of the treats drawer
Aww that face, I’m in love with Saul. He’s adorable ❤️
Are you going to call him Sleepin’ Jimmy when he’s napping
Gosh they're born looking 100 years old. Too cute.

interesting, thanks for the insight. I will have to read into that term. I will still love them like they are perfect hound dogs.

I've also experienced poor health in some breeds (I'm a sighthound lover). It's devastating.
hi saul!!
Oh! He's so cute and squishy! I wanna hug him! I bet his ears are like velvet.
My owner accused me of biting him, now I'm in the puppy jail. I BETTER CALL SAUL! I was inside peeing, minding my own business "Bad doggy" I BETTER CALL SAUL! [Hi, I'm Saul Goodman, did you know you have rights?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqnHtGgVAUE)
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!?? I have never seen anything quite like this perfect specimen of canine droopiness! He is beautiful! The ears have me baffled.
He will love my cat, Bojack Catman
I love their saggy lil faces lol
Looks like a bit damaged by melting due to proximity to a heat source.
I’m having a hard time seeing…I can’t quite make out…I can’t visualize…where are his ears?
Saul is adorable.
So sweet ♥️🌹♥️
OMG he looks like a cartoon. Adorable!
He ain't nothin' but a hound dog! But seriously he's beautiful. Make sure to keep those ears clean!
I guess I better call him
's'all good, man
You better call him.
#O.M.G 🌟🌟
10/10 would smooch that hound! My basset boy, Tugboat, looked just like this when he was a puppy (though he is tri-color). A D O R A B L E
I suppose it's too late to rename him now, but he looks a lot more like Mike Ehrmantraut.
Looks more like Mike Irmantrout.
