Basset in the snow!

More snow on the way today (they say). Even with their low stature, they loved to plow through it! And when they run they can get snow to fly everywhere!

These two compete nationally as scent hounds. Here they have been tracking rabbits and just came out of a deep ravine where they found a few tracks but nothing substantial. The Hunt Master is telling them to move on to another field where they might find a better scent to track. They are judged forContinue reading “Working Hounds”

Guardian Angel (GABR) is a very successfulContinue reading “Everyone loves Santa”
