I currently have 1 basset but am supposed to go pick up my 3 new basset puppies. I have found out through having my 1 year old basset with my 1 year old son that they are a very affectionate breed. They are wonderful with children. My dog will lie on the floor and let my son climb all over him and pull his ears and tail. The funny thing is that he shows no reaction to it. When it comes to my son crying, my dog will go running into the room with him. If anyone else has any more questions please feel free to ask or email me at
