  4. Hah, this stirred a great memory. Back in the late 80s we got our first Basset, Homer. My wife who was an avid runner was slowly working him up to run with her. On the day she finally got him on the whole run, he quit about a half mile from her turn around point. No one had cell phones then so she just had to carry him 2 miles home. He was relegated to just going around the block with mom after that. Sadly, lost them both in 2005. Homer was 16.

  5. This illustrates a Basset fact. If they get tired during a walk and decide to lay down you either have to sit there and wait for them to rest or carry them. They WILL NOT walk until they're ready…or you can carry them. True of the breed overall. I had one so I know.

  6. Have a two year old basset that's the same way. When she is done walking she's done. She's 83 pounds
