Max is a happy boy!

Hi Beagles and Buddies,

This is of Max (whom you called Niles). He is a very happy and confident boy these days. That fragile skinny little boy that I adopted has gained almost 3 lbs. (He is almost 8 lbs now). He is getting very confident. He now OWNS his bowl. He argues with me and talks to me all the time. He still does his little thing all the time where he throws his little head back and howls like a little wolf. Max is such a darling special little boy. Thanks so much for finding him and taking care of him for me so that I could find him through you. Max is a HAPPY BOY these days and a big joy. A few of these pictures include his sister, Whizzy, and 11lb Maltese/terrier mix. They are great friends.

Thanks again,

Sherry

How do new dogs and babies get along?

The baby and the dog should never be left alone together.

However, Bassets are the least likely to be dangerous. There are other breeds such as the Labrador, the Golden Retriever, and the Collie that are unlikely to snap at children.

Adopting an older dog that has had experience with children is much better than adopting a puppy or a young dog without experience.

With puppies, teething is part of growing up - and sometimes they don't know the strength of their own jaws. Rather than riskng it, go with an older dog. That way, both parties can have fun & respect without getting into any trouble!!
