Am currently on mat leave, will be going back to work for two days a week starting in April. DD is currently 29 weeks. I have a wonderful basset hound. He's very accepting and DD is his baby. However he's fine with DM's dogs being around her and isn't aggressively protective of her. We used to have another dog with him but he's now on his own. He's had to get used to being a solo hound, he's still very nervous about other dogs and strangers as previously he had the other dog for confidence!
So am I insane to contemplate getting a young basset bitch? Was thinking about Feb time as I'll still be around every day for mixing etc. He loves being with DM's dogs and playing with them. In the evenings he plays 'tuggy' by himself, but obviously it's not that great a game by himself!
Housetraining doesn't phase me. Exercise will be the same as him.
Am I being bonkers thinking about it?!
