Product Description
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. The most extensive line of basic pet information and training guides on the market, Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals are written by experts, and profusely illustrated with full-color photos and instructive, high-quality line art. Each manual is individually written. Not one of Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals is a clone from a single common catch-all book, with one or two chapters added on to make it appear new. Instead, each Barron's manual has been planned, designed, and written from scratch always by an experienced breeder, trainer, veterinarian, or qualified expert.

Ah, Bassets October 10, 2005

The book is very helpful in telling you WHY Bassets behave (oxymoronic phrase) the way they do. Not even this wonderful book can make them less stubborn, alas.

This book was not at all what I expected! I thought it was written by a lover and owner of basset hounds?? It seems as if this guy thinks basset hounds are pains!!! Not to mention the type of dog he describes is nothing like my dog! My dog is very playfull, not calm or sluggish at all! He talks about Basset Hounds like they are the most fragile dogs in the world! This book was not as good as I thought it would be.

This book is excellent for the first time Bassett owner. I found it helpful in raising my own Bassett Hounds and giving advice to friends and family that had decided to get a Bassett of their own. The only drawback is it could offer a little more detail that is specific to Bassett Hounds and not just dogs in general. All in all, it was very helpful in understanding some of the unique traits of Bassett Hounds.
