Respond to this video... Public video equals it is your business. Who's ignorant now?

@rossttc Not an ignorant comment at all - a little knowledge goes a long way - having been involved with Bassets for over twenty years I can tell you from first hand experience that they are more like to incur spinal injury from activities that place a greater amount of stress on the backs than would injure other dog breeds. It doesn't mean all of them can't swim, they just require supervision while doing so and those hounds that clearly don't enjoy it should not be forced to do so.

they arent supposed 2 swim

Pure Bred Bassets cannot swim for very long. They will eventually sink seeing as their bone density is so high.

My Bassett swan a whole pond by herself. She looked like a little Beaver. It was so cute!

@WebkinzLover1090 Just to let you know not all Bassets can swim. My friends fell in the pool and sank. They had to jump in and save it. So they need supervision when around deep water. With the short legs and weight in the front they are not made for swimming. They are not water dogs like labs.

Oh Lulu darling - what a beautiful basset hound. I would love to hug her.
-
my bassets name is Lulu! :D shes so cute! but she hates anything to do with water... bassets are just not made for swimming b/c of their short legs, but give them a lil boost and they'll be fine(:
-
as with kids, dont allow them near the pool or in the pool without supervision.
Lulu enjoyed swimming, she often wades around at the river at my father-in-law's house, I think bassets don't like to swim much because the water get's in their big ears, but they can do it if you give them a hand.
