I have ywo Bassets, one tri and one blue. Bart(Blue) is the runt compared to his half-brother Harley(Tri). Bart is 7 months and weighs 45 pounds while Harley is 9 months and weighs 68 pounds. Bart has had skin problems only and Cortizone shots have cleared that up. Otherwise, he's a typical Hound and he doesn't let Harley push him around. If you have any questions drop me a line.
