 The Basset Hound Owner's Survival Guide February 25, 2000
13 out of 16 found this review helpful
For the soon to be basset owner, this book is pointless. I have experience with bassets and was able to enjoy the anecdotes, but the anecdotes are the problem. The book is overflowing with little vignettes and not much else. There are other owner guides to the basset hound that address in detail important issues like feeding, health and grooming without the endless accompanying tales. I was extremely disappointed and wouldn't recommend it for a novice basset owner. it just doesn't cover the hard facts it needs to.

This book has been recommended on various web sites and I thought I would give it a try since we just got a basset puppy. It was not helpful to us in understanding the breed, and now my husband is convinced we have a hard headed dog who is never going to be housebroken and is going to let burglars waltz right into our house.
 Amusing and helpful, not unlike the basset hound itself December 1, 1999

For anyone who has ever loved a basset hound, and especially for anyone considering being owned by a basset hound, this is an essential read.For all it's humour, it is also a book that cautions people that although basset hounds are cute and funny, they are also difficult and complex dogs - not your average well-behaved lab, in other words. Not a dog for the easily grossed-out (think drool flings), for the impatient (think laying down in the middle of a walk) or for those who demand obedience (what are you kidding?) Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.
Informative and humorous**a must have for every basset fan November 20, 1999

One of my favorite basset books. Very reader friendly, Diane has a wonderful writing style! She provides adequate and accurate information, wonderful color pictures and humor. Great source of information...Wish I read it before I got my basset, but very helpful in figuring out my mystery dog! You must get this one!
Essential reading for all prospective owners November 9, 1999

Working as a volunteer in Basset Hound Welfare in the UK,I advise many people who contact me to get a copy of this book to give them more ideas on the wonderful ways of the Basset.Rather than deteering them it makes even more positive that the Basset is the only breed for them.What sensible people they are!
