 More of a warning guide than a survival guide October 3, 2005
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
This book provides a lot of information about this breed of dog, but fails to provide solutions on how to deal with these traits. This book heavily relies on questions posted by people on newsgroups for its content to describe how a basset hound is different from other breeds. That's fine, but it never answers any of those questions. For example, one newsgroup passage is from someone who is having problems removing drool from the walls without removing the paint, and the book just ends the topic without saying how you can do this. (By the way, from trial and error, we've discovered the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers work like a charm) This gives the whole book the tone, "Yep, bassets do that. Isn't that cute! Get used to it." If you're looking for a book that accurately describes some of the peculiarities of bassets, this is a good book. But if you're looking for one that provides training answers, get a quality training book and look at the newsgroups.

This was a fun read. I had to hunt for some information, but it was fun doing it. Obviously written by someone who owns and loves Bassets. When I sit on the porch and watch my Cleo chasing fireflys I know there are others who are also enjoying the special experience of living with a Basset.
 A Must Read If You Plan To Get A Basset Hound! December 6, 2004

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.
She ain't heavy, she's my Basset! June 27, 2004
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
Wow A Book That Describes My Dog To a T!!! March 4, 2004
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
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.
