5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read If You Plan To Get A Basset Hound!, Dec 6 2004

By	Melissa Watson-Whaites (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

This book describes what it is to own a Basset Hound to a T! We purchased the book prior to purchasing our puppy, Rowan. He's a monkey and an absolute delight! He is EVERYTHING this book suggested he would be..good and bad. This booked helped my husband and I decide that a Basset was the right breed for us - if you're at all unsure GET THIS BOOK. Don't get a Basset unless you have a sense of humour...my Rowan is the funniest little man I've ever met! This book is real, funny and well written. I would suggest it to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars She ain't heavy, she's my Basset!, Jun 27 2004

By	TundraVision (o/~ from the Land of Sky Blue Waters o/~) - See all my reviews

After almost 30 years of Saints (Bernards,) I got a Basset!
Diane Morgan tells new "basseteers" everything we need to know about the breed and how, specifically, to make the family basset happy & healthy. This is the definitive (and funny - like the breed it boasts, roasts, and toasts) Basset book.
Are we having fun yet? Stay tuned for more tales of me & my baby basset, Lucy Inda Sky. /TundraVision, Amazon Reviewer

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow A Book That Describes My Dog To a T!!!, Mar 3 2004

By	Linda D. Wolf (Newark, DE United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We recently inherited our bassett hound Mickey from my father-in-law who recently passed away. Mickey was also adopted from the Tri-State Bassett Hound Rescue Society. I needed some references to help raise Mickey to be a happy dog. This book described him to a "T". I have discovered on my own that bassett hounds are different from other dogs I have previously owned. I am happy to say that I love the differences and personality. If you are looking for a good down-to-earth guide book about bassett hounds, this is the one.
