Beautiful companions Frank and Nancy. They had me smiling like a complete ninny. I can only imagine the pleasure and laughs that they gave you over the intervening years. Thanks for sharing these two great characters with us folks. I wish you rainbows.
I have a question about the breed. Would 30 min morning walk, a short sniff outside at noon and a longer 1 hour walk in the late afternoon be enough for them to be calm and quit during some hours alone? (By walk, I mean on a long leash and through the woods) I would of course also play with him every day and do scent games with him...
Bassets "love" to run away so you need a fence. They make them think there's an invisible fence which is pretty clever imo. :) I don't know if I could trick my basset like that, though.
Usually you need a fence because Bassets tend to escape/run away and go on a basset journey. They make them believe they can not run away by pretending there is a (invisible) fence. Therefore they need a car to get out of this area. ;)
Well, you may believe these lovely people are pretending to have an invisible fence, ValBordeaux, but I'm certain there really IS an invisible fence because he takes off their sensor collars at the beginning of the clip and puts on their 'go for a walk' collars. I love dogs and bassets are definitely in my top 5 favorite breeds, but NO dog is so smart that these folks would go to the trouble of switching collars just to make the dogs believe there is a fence. It's there. The collars prove it!
I have been watch the adventures of Frank and Sarah and remembering my basset, Ginger. They are a terrific pair, just adorable. Especially loved the lettuce, Frank in the snow and their afternoon walk. Now I'm smiling from ear to ear. Thanks!!

Loved this video! Especially the Bassetmobiel and that "drive" to the walking trail. I live in Zambia and take my 4 doggos to a safe area to walk them, in my open game - watcher Landrover. People always laugh and point....it looks like we are on a game watching, doggo safari. 😁
I had four basset hounds and was walking three on one leash and one in my other hand when suddenly the three took off and drug me down an embankment through the weeds to a creek I had the leash wrapped around my wrist and couldn’t get it loose I was thinking about getting snake bit while I was rolling around in the weeds finally was able to get up and they were having a ball in the water didn’t see that coming and they all had a separate leash after that you gotta love them to death mine are all gone now and I miss them
Very cute! We think it's only ours that do things like having a drink in the middle of the "getting ready" for a walk until we see they are all the same! They are adorable and Sarah has a beautiful voice.
you guuys are awesome I to have a hound and I love him dearly just wish I had more time to spend with him but trust me the lack of love is definately not there.
