Do Bassets tend to wander?
A.Bassets definitely need to be watched closely, be on a lead, or in a fenced area when they are outside, as their curiosity can take them far. However, my dogs do not generally run away fast, they meander. Q. Do they have any known health problems? I know they need their ears cleaned, and their nails need to be kept short. A. All my puppies get a very thorough physical exam by my vet. I guarantee that they leave here in good health. I have worked hard to do good selecting from my litters and from outside my kennel to try to minimize those things that Bassets have somewhat more often than the average dog population – back problems, skin problems and glaucoma.
