Yep, thinking about getting one as an apartment dog. Small, doesn't have a yip yap sound, meets most apartment complex's size requirements, and is damn good for picking up ladies.
So what do I need to know about care and whatnot? IBDon'tgetithighinamiata.

I don't know if you could call a basset "little". Full grown basset is a heavy lump of a dog. And bassets may not yip, but they can make just as much noise as any other dog (howling, barking cause he's bored)

I have a beagle as an apartment dog and she's been great. Adopted her last Christmas and after the initial adjustments of getting used to the place, she hasn't been a problem at all. Doesn't bark and yelp at anything, even though she'll lighly whine when we leave but not loud enough to bother anyone. I guess every now and then she'll get excited over a rabbit that teases her by sitting outside the window, but other than that I have no complaints.

ok..
the good Bassetts are lazy and don't take much exercise they have awesome personalities and get along well with people AND other animals they have a good long life span (13-15 yrs) the bad they stink. no matter what. bassett hounds smell they are prone to allergies and ear infections (most scent and floppy eared dogs are) most have a tendacy to howl (or bay...it is afterall what they are bred to do) they cannot NEVER EVER be left unattended...they wonder after any scent and can't find their way home back problems are prominant they don't swim they don't free breed (you have to hold them together to hump) they also have a tendancy to be obese (GTF used to weigh 85 lbs) also....from my apartment hunts Bassetts are not considered small....GTF is 55 lbs right now which is normal in short GTF has been awesome, though he has cost me thousands in vet bills and $70 a month to feed....and he seems to be borked with the ladies, he attracts only retarded people and kids. he is my best friend and I cannot imagine what I will do when he goes. any other questions let me know, I did a ton of research before chosing a breed. |

Bulldog maybe? Smaller but stout and sure to be a hit with the ladies.
