I was looking for a Book that would be much more specific about Basset Hounds and not a product catalog.


Lots of Basset photos, short on Basset specifics.   February 16, 2003

I got the 1995 edition of this when I got my Basset. I enjoyed the MANY photos of Bassets, but was disappointed that most of the book appears to be a generic insert that fits in ANY general dog book complete with lots of advertisements for miscellaneous dog stuff. It looks like there is a fill in the blank form used to create the books where you type in a few breed-specific details and lots of photos and -- presto! -- a new book.

Less than 30 pages (of 224) are specific to Bassets.

This is the first book I bought when I got my Basset Hound named Apple.. and I can say that it has taught me a lot in caring, loving, feeding, understading my Apple... It has all the things that u need to know about Bassets and their needs... their sorroundings... their personal stuffs, from combs, to shampoos, to perfumes, to food, to their living quarters, and most of all in everything... so, guys! go on and buy this book. It will help you understand them more!

This book is amazing. It is a must for Basset lovers worldwide. It has very nice photography work that is complemented by the detailed text. The author included many helpful ideas for your dog. It teaches how to breed them, how to care for them, and last but not least, how to love them. I would reccomend it to almost anyone who is interested in dogs in general or just Basset Hounds. As I Basset lover,I learned many new facts about my favorite breed, and I'm sure you would achieve the same.
