What cute little dog displayed on today’s blog picture! He’s so sweet and cuddlesome, with big, sad-looking eyes and long ears, you might even want to take him home as a pet right this instance!
You might have seen this kind of dog somewhere. Yes. It’s on the logo of Hush Puppies. If you love shopping for shoes, you will certainly know what a brand Hush Puppies is! This adorable little fellow, that becomes the logo of the brand, is called a Basset Hound.
And, take it from me: you WON’T want to take a Basset Hound home, especially when you live in a flat!
Really, you cannot judge a dog from its appearance, as much as a book from its cover. It’s not for naught that the Basset Hound gains the label “hound” as its family name.
Dogs are classified into six groups: the working dog, the toy dog, the terrier, the multi-purpose dog, the sport-dog, and the hound. Now, the hound family has many members, from the huge and tall Afghan Hound to the slim Greyhound, and it includes the sweet, sad-looking Basset Hound as well. Being a hound, the Basset Hound has remarkable sense of smelling as a natural great hunter. And you do know what a hunter does, right? He hunts! He won’t stop sniffing, chasing, scratching, and turning the house upside-down until he finally finds what his nose is looking for!
So, it’s a bad choice for us who live in flats or apartments. Basset Hound belongs to the country house or farm, where their natural instinct can properly be used to hunt down foxes or chase deer.
How do we know what kind of dog is most suitable for us?
Well, you will have to explore and get as much information on dogs as you can, then match it up with your type of personality and the kind of residence you’re dwelling in. For instance: you can’t have a Dobermann when you are a calm and fragile type of person, especially when you live in a small house. But a Pekingese or Shih-Tzu will do great. So, get the type of dog most suitable for you.
Mongrels make great companions as much as the pure-blooded dogs. The bright side is: you don’t need to empty your wallet to buy a pet when all you need is a dog to accompany your family, be a friend, and guard the house. Nevertheless, it is also important to note the parents of the mongrel itself, since a mongrel is a mix-breed between two or more breeds of dogs. Most of the time, the parents’ character and disposition are also handed down to the pups.
If you’d like to adopt a dog, make sure that the one you’re adopting is truly appropriate to your needs, personality, and residence. There’s always a perfect type of dog for every type of person. And you can always contact Dog Adoption Network in
Good luck!
