Columbo

This dear BASSET Hound boy is only 1 ½ years old and tri-coloured-- neutered, heartworm tested negative, vaccinated, dewormed, no fleas. At 42 pounds, he is as mild-mannered as Bassets come! Granted, he needs work on his housetraining a bit more, but his foster has him almost perfect now!  GREAT with kids, other friendly dogs, interested in cats (with tail wagging), NOT A MEAN BONE, and great in the car, he travels well. 5 weeks in the SPCA and unchosen, he was happy to leave there as a Gerdy’s dog, and trotted along so happily out of there, looking all about him! Jolly, he is the typical good-natured Basset Hound! Walks quite well on leash, but will be perfect with training by you. Crate trained, he is content to be in it when his person is out.  Wonderful with small children! Great at playing with other nice dogs, he is very social, interested in people (even goes to strangers for attention!) Keep in mind—a member of the HOUND FAMILY needs a securely fenced yard to roam about in as they follow their nose and could get easily lost—Bassets are helpless to look after themselves! That is why they are such a “people dog” and love to be in the center of family activity, not shut in another room missing all the family fun or tv watching. If only sleeping, he will enjoy just being near his people—such is the Basset! Columbo is a treasure of a Basset!
