Milo, the big guy.
Basset Hounds - We are engaged in producing excellent show, hunting, and field trialing hounds. In temperament it is mild, never sharp or timid.
(2)
The Basset Hound possesses in marked degree those characteristics which equip it admirably to follow a trail over and through difficult terrain. It is a short-legged dog, heavier in bone, size considered, than any other breed of dog, and while its movement is deliberate, it is in no sense clumsy. It is capable of great endurance in the field and is extreme in its devotion.
Milo, the big guy.
Fantastic weekend of hunt tests at Tri-County Beagle Club! Poca earned her MHE, Ro earned HH, Birdie earned HH, and Blue earned HH.

Just arrived home from the Valley Forge Basset Hound Club Field Trial. We are clearing out the vehicle and bring everything inside to put away. Milo is contributing with a clearance of any stray snacks that might be in the dirty laundry. All clear!
“Please, may I have a bite of your snack?”
Fun weekend at the field trial at Southern Michigan Beagle Club! Thanks to the judges. First for Roe, first (Sunday) for Milo, and first (Saturday) for Poca!

At the start of this video you can see the rabbit. It was tough conditions. It was freezing rain all day, the brush was stiff. Milo and Super were on the bunny this evening. Super wasn’t doing much for the camera, but Milo does. Super did well off camera.
