Watch out for Scammers

Whether you get a puppy or not, watch out for Scammers and Con-men.  The Internet has been around for long enough that people ought to be able to recognize a scam, but we get at least one attempt a day so. . .

Visit your breeder, check references, and read the contract. . . If you can't visit, even when you want to, walk away. If the references are wrong, or too recent, move on. And if the contract seems stupid, poorly worded or ineffective, don't get it one.

We hear about people getting ripped off all the time. It's only money, but if you need to give it away we'll find a place for it that doesn't purptuate the problem. Protect yourself.

At Two Weeks We Have Three Boys

 Once upon a time we forced people to wait for six long weeks before choosing a new baby. The idea was to make people happier, but it didn't work. Now we have people picking Babies at just a few day old, despite our trying to hold things off a bit. This generates more happiness generally even though it makes some people a bit nervous (including us).  We had Seven available and four of these are already taken by good families, leaving us with three wonderful Baby Boy Bassets still available, no girls.

Milka, the Beach Boy Beauty.

Reisen, a lovely mahogany hunter. 

Pocki, a wonderful little tri-colored boy 

with the Ninja Nut-sack (black as pitch in a sea of white fur).

 

Get in touch if you needs Basset. Call Ann at 503-351-0212 and arrange a visit before deciding. 

Reisen at Two Weeks

 Reisen is a lovely little boy and is
the best at standing in this litter so far,

He weighs 33.1 ounces
without a trace of tail tip white. 

He has his eyes wide open, one of the few, and he's looking to explore everything he sees. And although he's not especially cuddly, he will probably make for a great family dog because he's built tough.  . Reisen has an asymmetrical nose fur which gives him quirky good looks.  If I would keep one, Reisen would be in the running. from what we see here he will be a great Basset.
