Info about dogs, help me pick a good one.

I had a Bassett when I was a boy in Kentucky. My mother wouldn’t let him eat inside, so when he was a puppy, on the really cold days, I’d pin his ears together up on top of his head with a clothespin, or else the tips of his ears would ice up while he was eating.

Whenever he got out he’d head straight upwind to the nearest female dog’s home.

Dumb as a stump, he was, but very loveable.

D Deleted member 39693 Does he howl when you play music? I saw this video, Basset goes off at 1:23

funny.

I used to have a beagle/basset mix, she would take off into the woods and be gone all night. Crazy dog.

Neutered myn at 6 months old. We live on 16 acres. He’s an inside dog and has about an acre that is fenced in. Otherwise he would take off for a swim in the pond or creek!

Australian Shepherd. The best dog ever for us. Easy to train, didn't shed much. Loyal, smart, fond of children, behaved well with our cat. Absolutely loved to chase down tree rats trying to make a meal at the bird feeder. Had to put the old girl down after 14 years due to kidney issues. Hope to get another one day after I retire.

D Deleted member 39693 what kind of dog beside the basset?

Female dogs make much better family pets than male dogs, imo. They don’t run off as much, or lift their legs in the house.

And in general hounds aren’t very smart at all. Instead of brains they get better noses.

Most Water dogs and artic dogs don’t take the heat well.

Terriers are hard to train.

In general you can’t go wrong with a female Australian Shepherd mix rescue or border collie mix rescue. They are smart smart smart and about your size.

A well bred female Boykin spaniel would prolly be great for you also, if you want to spend the money.

If you get the wrong breed for your situation you can’t change the dog, not really.

Rereading your post it sounds like you would be very happy With a well bred female Boykin. A well bred Boykin is a super dog for Georgia.

Love my Boykin.
