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.

Not What I Expected.....,
By "nissaloulandry" (Kenner, Louisiana United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bassett Hounds (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
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.

brian,
By Brian Herron (Fairmont, WV United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bassett Hounds (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
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.

Author Unworthy to Describe Breed,
By
This review is from: Bassett Hounds (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
This was the most useless book I have ever read. The breed is barely discussed. Just some general points for new dog owners in general. The author obviously has no knowledge of the breed. If this wasn't a gift I would have returned it.
