Any information about Basset Hounds?
I absolutely adore these dogs and I would love to get one (hopefully from an animal shelter) when I move to live with my Auntie. It is a medium sized flat, third floor with its own garden. Do you think it is suitable for a Basset Hound? I would love a male. Any ideas what I should call it if I do end up getting one?

Basset Hound
Who doesn’t love a friendly dog? They’re cute, lovable and make for a great companion, unless you have asthma and allergies related to dogs.Â
If you have a asthma caused by allergies and are considering getting a dog, there’s several things you should consider before welcoming the four legged canine into your family.Â
To start with, you need to know that there’s no dog breed that is one hundred percent hypoallergenic. That means that if you have allergies and asthma triggered by pet dander, there’s no breed that is going to be completely safe for you to get. That’s because all dogs create dander, however there are some breeds that create produce less than others.Â
Before you take home any dog, take some time to visit a breeder so you can spend time with the dog you’re thinking about bringing into your family. By spending time with the dog, you can see if it causes any problems before you actually get the dog. It would be a lot better to spend a short amount of time now with the dog, then to discover six months later that you have to give it away because you can’t live with the dog.Â
If you still want to go through and get a dog, the best breeds have no hair at all or just a single coat. I put together a lot of some of the best dogs for people with allergies and asthma. It is by no means a definitive list. There’s some breeds on this list that might cause you specifically problems, and other breeds on this list that won’t cause you any allergy problems.Â

Anybody know where I could find a Vizsla for …….? sale
anywhere in the U.S. A female. Not much, about $ 600 or less. Thanks all in advance!
I saw them at our local animal shelter on multiple occations. Sterilized with $ 105 and microchip. They do not have email, has consulted with your local shelter? PS I just read the response of Tiki. What she said is 100% correct. It helps if you look at a specific breed for one reason, but surely that is good information. You may have good reasons for choosing a particular race. Anyway, note that Tiki said, is important. By the way, if you ask a woman because he has decided to enter the dog business, you really need to talk to people first. I saw many people trying to do and fails miserably. Everybody thought know enough and they were all "that play for years and it was great." Even the history of each, the same for all the failures.

Dogs can’t digest corn and it has petroliem products in it, as in the same stuff they make gasoline out of. Dogs can live 20 or more years, but they don’t because the food they eat slowly poisions them. Any way sorry to go off on a tangent, I just passionate about taking car of our dogs the right way.
