Pet
store Basset Hounds come from backyard breeders and puppy mills. Most likely,
you will not know who bred your dog or have anyone to contact if you have
questions or a problem.
The health of pet store Bassets is always at risk because they
were not bred by knowledgeable breeders devoted to improving
the health and appearance of the Basset Hound. |

Pet store puppies are separated from their mothers at too
early an age and usually do not have the chance to develop healthy bodies and
temperaments. In fact, pet store Bassets often become seriously ill and end up
costing their owners hundreds and even thousands of dollars in veterinary
expenses.
|
Pet stores do not guarantee the long term health of a puppy.
|
Most pet store Basset Hounds are smaller than those from
reputable kennels and often lack the majestic wrinkled head and expression that
define the Basset Hound. In fact, they may look more like Beagles than Basset
Hounds.
|
Despite the inferiority of the dogs they sell, pet stores
usually charge as much, if not more, than reputable breeders of quality Basset
Hounds.
|
No matter how impatient you or your children are to get a
Basset Hound, it is always better to wait, even a few months, and get one from a
good breeder!!
