Why's it called Basset, you ask? Well, it's very agreeable, easy to get along with, and likes set routine, just like basset hounds.

My experience with bassets is a little different. Ours (may she rest in peace since the mid 1990's) was stubborn, opinionated, and liked any routine that involved unauthorized access to human food. She was a wonderful dog, but not so agreeable... she seemed to love to disagree. Maybe that's what we (at the time, teenage) kids loved her so much. ;)
