Pam and I had no idea how to find a good breeder. Remember this was long before the Internet. All that was available was newspapers and magazines. We decided that perhaps attending a dog show was a good place to start our search. In this episode I talk about that experience.


I also present the beginning of bassets and dog shows. Both are extremely important to our breed. They introduce where basset hounds came from.


The terms "Championship Bloodlines" and "French Bassets" are often touted by basset hound breeders and owners. I explain the origins of these term and why they aren't important factors in basset hounds.


There's also some AKC news about disaster relief trailers and I answer a listener's questions.


Please remember to ask questions. I’d much rather answer questions from my listeners. There’s a page on our woebgonbassets.com website where you can either record a question or send one by email.
