Walking My Welsh Corki

He's so cute! People often comment on the shortness of my basset hound's legs. And they often think they're beagles.

My sister had a basset hound that she rescued from the pound. But he had emotional problems (we think he was abused as a pup) and became bitey. Especially with men. They had to give him up for adoption. Sad, really.

Even a good dog can get nasty if abused. It's sad, really. We get the newsletter every few months from Basset Rescue, and some dogs are listed as bad with cats or children, or should be a one-dog household or such. The advantage of adopting from the rescue is they have a clue what the dog is like.

As far as the little manipulators are cute... yes, they are. Luckily our two don't get in a *lot* of trouble. They do have the bad habit or two.
