News pics of Tilda

by Jon on July 13, 2010

Ann-Britt sent some lovely pics of Tilda, who is now 1.5 years old. What a sweet girl! I love the expression on her face. She really reminds me of her Bernard, her father, but with the colouring of Aggie.

Thank you Ann-Britt for taking such wonderful care of my lovely girl and giving her a great home!

Aggie took a wander in the garden whilst I drank my coffee yesterday morning.

Here she is in typical Aggsie mode!

Winnie is looking for spring

by Jon on March 3, 2010

We’ve had so much snow for so long now the woofs are beginning to get a bit fed up.

Here’s Winnie looking for some green shoots. Or a juicy bone!

Where IS that warmer weather?

George the Gorgeous

by Jon on February 21, 2010

I wanted a share this picture that Isabelle and Bart took of George. He’s such a gorgeous basset hound!

I can still remember when he was a wee fellow on my knee.

Where are my favourite bones?

Tia is not amused

by Jon on February 12, 2010

We’ve had snow for months and Tia is not amused. Well, she loves rushing through the forest and when it’s minus 12°C it gets a bit much so we keep our walks a little shorter.

Here’s Tia, obviously waiting for the spring!

So when do we get outside and play?

Basset Hounds and Bloat

by Jon on January 27, 2010

I‘ve just read an excellent and cogent overview of bloat. A condition that can affect basset hounds, and something we warn all our puppy buyers about.

Please take ten minutes to read Jennifer Kaiser’s excellent overview of the condition. It’s probably the most nuanced work on bloat I’ve read online yet.

Thanks to Donna for sending me the link.

by Jon on January 23, 2010

Ann-Britt sent on some lovely pics of Tilda this week, to follow up our birthday pictures of the others.

Butter wouldn't melt in her mouth


She’s doing very well and weighs in at 28 kg. She’s quite a big girl like her mother, Aggie, but more agile I think.

by Jon on January 23, 2010

I received a lovely link to a video this morning from Donna and Jon at Houndsbay Bassets in the UK. Their Belgian import Ivan is 10 weeks and enjoying life with his family.

What a stunning litter of pups.
