The Basset Dog is gentle, naughty and sincere, with a pair of cute big ears and a resentful little expression that attracts many parents. So how should the Basset Dog be raised? Why is it said that it is not easy to maintain? The eight reasons why Basset Dogs are not good to raise are as follows:
1. Difficult to train: Basset dogs are very obedient and often ignore all commands given by their owners, making training very difficult.
2. Extremely damaging: It is common for dogs to be curious, but the curiosity of the Basset Dog is almost beyond your imagination, and it is not only curious, but also aggressive It behaves to satisfy its curiosity, so items in the home are often damaged by it "occasionally". This personality will show up at a very young age, such as tearing sofas, chewing clothes, furniture, etc. Yes, it drives people crazy over and over again.
3. Regularly care for the ears: The Basset Dog’s ears are long and large, and droop, causing poor air circulation and prone to inflammation, so special attention should be paid to cleaning them regularly, and dust should be removed immediately when returning from going out. Wipe and dry. Even if you stay at home every day and don't go out, you still need to clean your ears inside and out 2-3 times a week.
4. Walk slowly and be held on a leash at all times: The Basset Hound is born and feels extremely agile, so as long as it goes out, it will lie on the ground, sniffing and progressing bit by bit, and the ground will be full of excitement. It has to go up and smell everything within its field of vision, so it walks very slowly and often gets its mouth dirty. Only after he is half a year old can he occasionally run around for a while while walking. If you walk it, impatient people may die of panic.
5. Large appetite: Although the Basset Dog is not a medium-sized dog, its food intake is similar to that of a large dog. If it is fed according to the normal appetite of a medium-sized dog, it will often become thinner. It's like an oversized skinny sausage. You have to consider whether you can afford to raise a big-eating dog.
6. A lot of drool: If you like to be quick or even have a mysophobia, then the Basset should not be suitable for you, because it drools too much, especially after adulthood. Sometimes there are different bassets or a little less saliva, but it's just a matter of luck, and it's basically impossible to tell the difference on the surface, so it's better to think carefully and understand.
7. Loud barking: Basset puppies are very lively, often showing the instinct of a hound, sniffing and humming all the time, especially when not accompanied by the owner, they can keep humming. Not only can you shout, but you can only hum when you are two to three months old, which is still tolerable. When your throat is basically developed and mature between three months and six months old, you canI experienced the feeling of being surrounded by a deep low sound. The low whistling sound was so penetrating that I could hear it even through the wall.
8. Late maturation period: Basset dogs usually have skeletal and mental abilities that are truly mature after they are two years old, so we must pay attention to the mating time. Breeding too early will not only result in a bad dog Only if they are healthy, the offspring may also have some adverse effects in terms of psychology, body shape and health.
