Ophelia becomes Ginger!

It's hard to imagine that it's been only a week since we met Ophelia. She's added such a spark to our family and stole everyone's heart. We've renamed her "Gidget" because she's such a beach girl loving to run and splash in the water. She puts herself to bed in her crate at night and is a wonderful traveller. We take her for looooong walks at least 3 days a week and just in case we forget she goes and gets her leash to remind us. The funniest moment is when our youngest son got out his trombone for practice and she decided to sing along!

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!!
