We adopted Max from the pound in November of 2024 when he was 9 months old. He was a great addition to the family, however he has trust and resource issues and he quickly attached to my wife. Being fully transparent, over the last 18 months we noticed he became more anxious towards the rest of the family and has on occasion bitten myself and my daughter. We feel like he would be better not with a family but a single person living alone that could give him their full attention to help with his behavioral issues. He has been professionally trained to include: house, crate, and basic commands; he has never had an accident in the house; he loves to sun bathe on the deck, snuggle with my wife, dances for treats, but perhaps feels threatened by other people in the house. He is very friendly when friends or family come to the house. We feel if adopted by the right person, he would be a loyal companion for years to come; he follows my wife everywhere and is very protective of her.
ABOUT: BASSET HOUND DOG BREED
The Basset Hound is a unique and recognizable breed known for its long body, droopy ears, and soulful eyes. Originating from France, they were originally bred for hunting small game like rabbits due to their keen sense of smell and sturdy build. Despite their laid back and affectionate nature, Basset Hounds are also persistent and independent thinkers, which can make training a bit challenging. With their low energy levels and love for lounging, they make wonderful companion dogs for families seeking a loyal and easygoing pet.
The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
