Halo (Amber)

Hello Everyone, greetings from Halo (formerly Amber). I wanted to check in and let you know how things are working out in my new home. Life is good down here by the beach, and I love laying out on the grass in the sun and sniffing the flowers in my new yard. I take my new Mom on walks twice a day and keep showing her where the peanut butter biscuits are (I think she forgets). I keep the cats out of the backyard for Dad and help him in the garage. I have a brand new cushy pillow to curl up on and I let my new family sleep in the same room with me at night, although they do not have a nice crate like mine. There are lots of nice people with other dogs in the neighborhood and I have made several new friends already.

My new family tells me I am a very good girl and they love me very much. My family takes me for rides in the car quite often since I travel so well. I even walked in the Relay For Life last weekend to help raise money for the American Cancer Society. The people there were very nice and gave me lots of attention since no one had ever seen a Foxhound before. My Mom told everyone about my other friends at Beagles and Buddies so maybe they will visit you soon.

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!!
