Bassets are not supposed to swim. If you notice they are shaking their heads alot. You are supposed to put a life jacket of some sort on them. If not supervised they will drowm.
Funny how there's people saying that basset hounds aren't suppose to swim, are afraid of water blah blah blah..... when this video clearly proves that they're completely wrong! Both dogs have a great relationship with their owners, and that's a beautiful thing! :)
@xikoxikogarcia They'd easily drown in an ocean or river or lake or someplace not a pool that has no moving water and has people easily able to save the dog incase it does. Basset's legs are too short to be effective swimmers, I doubt they could do what they did in the video for very long, and as you could see, the only reason they did was for the snack...
The people that think the dogs didn't want to swim have obviously never had a Basset Hound.....Bassets don't do anything they don't want to do!!!! LOL You have a couple of lovely girls there!!!!!
For some reason, I thought Bassett hounds either couldn't or weren't supposed to swim because of the way their bodies are. I guess I'm wrong. Oh well.
omfg I cant even watch this anymore. This video disturbs me, and you disgust me. IF YOU WANT AN AGILITY DOG, GET A RETRIEVER. Bassets will drown, and they are terrified of water in general. Go to hell, where you can watch your dogs drown over and over again because of your stupidity. You terrible, evil, mindless, cruel, BEAST. Stay away from those dogs.. you are clearly incapable knowing an animal's limits.
@SuckySims You are way overreacting. I totally understand that you care about animals but the dogs are in no danger here. The first one willingly went into the pool for a treat and even came back for seconds. The second one did look nervous but she was never in danger of dying.
@SuckySims - sorry, I don't agree with you at all. These two dogs are obviously well-loved and are given a great learning opportunity by their owners. I have a 15-year old basset hound and I can tell you for a fact that he is not terrified of water at all and he can swim. Don't ever underestimate the inherent ability and tenacity of this lovely breed. Retrievers aren't the only breed that can be trained.
OH MY GOD THE SECOND ONE DOESNT EVEN WANT TO GO IN!! YOU CAN EASILY TELL THAT SHE'S FRIGHTENED AND DREAD SWIMMING IN A DEEP POOL. WTF WHAT IF YOU HAD TINY LEGS AND YOU MASTER WAS PRETTY MUCH FORCING YOU TO GO SWIM AND YOU COULDNT FEEL THE BOTTOM OF THE POOL OR EVEN LOOK DOWN TO SEE WHAT WAS BENEATH YOU?!?!?! THOSE DOGS ARE A NERVOUS WRECK YOU SHOULD GO TO PRISON FOR BEING SUCH AN IDIOT. DOGS HAVE FUCKIN FEELINGS TOO. SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST TOO DENSE TO SEE IT
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?! BASSETS CANT SWIM, ONCE MY BASSET FELL IN OUR POOL AND ALMOST DROWNED. HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU LETT YOUR DOG SINK INTO THE POOL BEFORE SHE COULD DO TAHT?! IT TAKES ALL THEIR STRENGTH WITH THEIR LITTLE LEGS TO EVEN STAY ALIVE, AND YOU MAKE A FUCKIN GAME OUT OF IT?!?!?!?! THOSE POOR DOGS ARE PROBABLY TERRIFIED. THIS IS ANIMAL CRUELTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I wanted my Basset hound to swim I would put her in a tiny pool I would probably put her in a pool that is 1 foot or I would put her in a few inches of water
My Bassett Maggie fell into my girlfriends pool this las summer. She's a small Bassett weighs 36 lbs. All she could do was try to keep her head above water! She looked like a a stick floating on water! She keep sinking vertically to the bottom of the pool. Her backend isn't heavy enough to dog paddle! Thank God my girlfriends dog alerted me of the problem before she drowned! Some Bassett's just are not meant to swim! ;(
our basset Daisy does NOT like to swim, although she is perfectly capable of doing so. Her back end is very buoyant (!) so all she needs to do is paddle with her front legs. :)
Very odd that they can swim so well! Most bassets have too dense of bones to swim without assistance (life jacket). All my foster bassets have to wear jackets or else they'd sink. Fun video!
we have been blessed with a Basset named Saddie Ann she is a puppy mill survivor, she is so amazing, very loving to all, her best animal friend is our house Mini Rex rabbit, they play continuous . Your girls are adorable ..
Not recommended to have bassets swimming esp. in the pool... but I guess this is a good lesson for them... and plus they are older ... but always keep Bassets away from a pool unsupervised....
See, I've heard that Basset Hounds have very dense bones so they sink like rocks in water, but I remember the basset my family had when I was young really enjoying a swim every once in a while. Perhaps he wasn't a full basset.
Just so the general public knows--Basset Hounds and Water are a BIG no-no,. They drown very easily. Put them near water, and there's a very good chance they'll sink like a stone no matter what this video is showing. It's a basic Basset fact.
I think it's a smart move to teach your dogs to swim. Just like with human children who cannot swim, terrible accidents can happen in a second around places like pools. Your teaching them a very important survival skill that could save their lives. Good work!
That old looking on is just going to town, man! Super cute. Mine hates all forms of water. But she was kept in a pen and didn't have any visitors or baths when she was growing up.
AWWWWW that is like epic cuteness I love bassets my very first dog was a lemon female named star she was so like chill but she loved showers so i think if i had a pool back then she would have loved to go swimming!
pablo, so sorry to hear that. Always been a fear of ours. first time tallulah fell in a pool she sank like a rock. luckily i saw it and jumped in after her. now i think they could struggle their way out, but its scary business.
omg. i though basset hounds couldn't swim at all! .. was told cause they have stubby legs. my basset crys and howls when he even in a 6 inch deep baby pool for a summer bath. awesome awesome awesoome! .. but i do wanna add that they have odd amount of not-white on the tips of their tails. O.o -Lydia
LOL I think my Bassets' would sink! I hope to have a pool and teach them to do this! I am going to take Buddy and Lila Basset up state this weekend and see what they do! My Beagle Asher already loves water so he'll lead off!
Cool, but beware, there are basset hounds that can't float- mine nearly drowned- many have solid "long bones" , and don't have enough fat to float. My GG was too skinny to swim.
I thought bassets were bad swimers :P, so I never tried taking mine into the water... so I will defenatelly try this summer...but I think I'll be right next to her the whole time, dont want anything to happend to my baby :P
brilliant vid! we have a 7 month old basset, he will only go ankle deep. may have something to do with it being minus 5 degrees outside. can't wait until summer :)
took my basset on a boat in the bay, we docked about 50 ft from an island, he jumped off the boat in about 4 ft of water n swam to the island n back n forth to the boat, it was so cool to see a basset swim, very cool, he loves the water.
Viv didn't cannonball in, he guy pulled her in. Not that I have a problem with that. Most dogs love swimming, just look at Tallulah there. It's just hard to get them in the water, when they look down at that pool, it probably looks to them like they're gonna fall or something. Great video, very cute hounds.
I like them both especially Tallulah. : ) She looked like she was having fun swimming in there and she's like "I'm going in again!" Great job Tallulah and Vivian! (I love that name Tallulah lol)
Great video. I like how the first hound took to it easier the second time. The second hound is like, "screw that" then cannonballed in. haha My Basset would have never gone anywhere near a pool. He would run away from waves at the beach. He mainly just chased the seagulls.
i have a pool that is out of the water that is about 3 1/2 feet tall and i lift my basset (oliver) and he loves swimming in my pool with me. He does laps around the pool like Tallulah
Not in this case: They are being watched! Besides, it's a small pool. It's good for them cause it allows them exercise which is important for a Basset, well, for any dog, any pet.
How cute.
But I couldn't help thinking he should've got Springer Spaniels -- they'd have beat him in the pool. :)
