Bassets always have a way of looking like they're done with life.

Advice about living in higher floors
Hey basset lovers,
My family almost always had Basset hounds, and living in a ground floor home was never an issue. Also with climbing to the second floor or basement back and forth. But that was only one floor at the time.
Now I’m living for few years in a third floor building with no elevator. I really would love to have a basset hound of my own. But I’m not sure how climbing three floors 3 times a day would be.
I don’t mind using some form of harness, but would prefer to just keep my dog (healthy!) athletic.
Does anyone have experience living with a basset in higher floors and taking the stairs every day? Any recommendations or suggestions?

My recent rescue!
This is Mushroom 🍄 He’s from a puppy mill down south, he was surrendered/seized from his old owners and he came with ckc papers listed as a ‘red brindle basset’, but I wonder if he’s actually mixed or just out of standard! He’ll be 2 years old next month and is unfortunately HW+ so we’re going through treatment right now, but he’s loving his furever home! He is the most agile and active basset hound I’ve ever met!

Basset Hound housebreaking help – he hides because he knows he’s guilty!
Hey everyone
I need some advice for my Basset Hound who has two daily walks but still pees inside where he shouldn't
The weirdest part is that he clearly knows it is wrong because he goes and hides immediately after the accident before I even find it
I try to keep a routine but it is like he chooses the floor over waiting for his walk
Has anyone dealt with this stubbornness before and should I change my cleaning routine or add a third walk
Any tips on high-value rewards or training for this specific breed would be amazing thanks

Do I have a basset!?
I adopted Ginger a few years ago when she was 8, the only things I am told is she is from an overcrowded pound in Kentucky and she is a “basset Shepard mix.”
Since then, I have done one of those dog DNA tests (which I was skeptical of to begin with) and her results were Mastiff and Rottweiler….
She is definitely a low rider, long body, short little legs that are a bit ballerina like. Her bark is a low howl. So I tend to think basset still, contrary to the online test. I figured I’d come to the experts and see if I have a part basset baby! (The pics don’t do her short stubbiness real justice)

Buttercup had a seizure this morning
My poor Butters had a seizure early this morning when she was snoozing.
She’s never had one before and it was so scary,I genuinely thought we were going to lose her.
She just turned 12 at the beginning of April and she’s been healthy all her life (other than the glaucoma) has anyone else experienced this with your basset?
Please send good vibes her way!
