Oh my this logo 😍 The hounds and I won’t be going to Oregon this year but hopefully can swing the Basset Hound Club of America National Specialty when it returns to the Midwest in 2025. We ARE going to need a t-shirt or two with this design! Sounds like orders for official merch will be on the Basset Hound Club of America website in the next month. I’ll definitely post when I see them available!

Rosie and I swapped out our plans to try the Iowa Barn Hunt today for some quiet and quality time at home. The kids helped pick out our tree at the Butler County Conservation tree fundraiser to buy display materials for inside their new Nature Center. Doggies giving their approval. Hope everyone’s having a cozy weekend!

“It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are.” -Anonymous quote in the book Your Dogs Best Health by Dr. Nancy Kay

Here’s a cool one! I kept randomly hearing and reading about “good Basset shoulders” and trying to imagine what bad Basset shoulders would look like and how that would change the dog. Then got to this part of The New Basset Hound by Margaret S. Walton — laid back shoulders are like the secret ingredient to good foreleg reach! 💡 has an awesome YouTube on “How to measure shoulder layback in a show dog”!
