It looks like I'll be getting a Basset Hound. I just need to wait for one to be avaliable in my area, but I'm in no rush to find a dog so I'll wait for a reputable breeder. I've always wanted a Basset Hound named Copper after the dog from The Fox And The Hound. I've done some reading up on them, and besides their ears which need cleaning, and that they can howl, they seem like pretty low maintence couch potato dogs. Perfect for my family. I've been looking online at rescues and shelters for other options but shelters have become really strict with long applications and home visits before you even get to meet a dog. And they mainly just had adult pit bull lab mixes at all these shelters. I had to think about what I really wanted for a 10+ year commitment.
