Every puppy is adorable, but somehow Basset Hounds seem to be just a little cuter than all others. If you are fortunate enough to be the owner of a new Hound pup there are certain issues to be aware of. First Basset Hounds love to eat more than anything else. So teaching your pet how to eat properly is essential. You must not get your puppy into the habit of eating table scraps and left overs. Portion control with a Basset is a must. If you don't teach your Basset good eating habits as a puppy it can lead to many health issues as they age.
