Upper right hand corner: this is Cletus our third rescued basset hound.
His owners divorced and neither one could take care of him. He was
left alone in his yard and was checked on and fed every two days.
He is was very lonely, he is a really shy boy!
Patience, Care, and Compassion
Every animal has a unique personality and disposition. Because of this, every animal needs to be trained differently. This requires a unique trainer, with a wide range of experience and a wealth of knowledge.

If you love your animal, you can count on Basset Heaven and the Perfect Paws system to train with love and compassion. You can also visit The American Kennel Club where Basset Hounds are ranked 25.

BASSET HOUNDS.....Although the basset family of dogs originated in France, the one Americans know as the Basset was refined in England in the last part of the 19th Century. The scent trailing breed was developed by French nobility to hunt rabbit, hare, deer and other game that could be taken on foot. The shortness of leg and bulky body make the Basset especially useful in dense cover. The amusingly shaped body is really quite efficient at punching into thickets. Recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1885, the breed had an amazing spurt of popularity in the 1950s when it was the darling of the advertising world.
