is2jebus Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hi everyone, I have one male Basset Hound 'Roco' and one female Beagle 'Skye' in need of a new home. Sadly, my living conditions have to change by the end of February and I will not be able to take my dogs with me. Roco and Skye are both 5 years of age. They are both lovely dogs and are good with people and children. I've tried to contact the breeders to see if they would like to take them back but unfortunately to no avail. I'm reluctant to hand them over to my nearest pound and I don't want to just give them away to anybody. I'd prefer to hand them over to someone who can look after them well in a good home. If anyone could assist me in finding Roco and Skye to a good home that would be much appreciated. Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon.

kelpiecuddles Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Where are you and could you specify whether there are any barking or other behavioural issues with either of the dogs? I may be able to assist either temporarily or permanently with the basset but only if he's not a big problematic barker as my neighbours don't do barkers. ETA: My current dogs do sometimes wear a citronella collar to keep their barking in check so I can deal with regular barky dog stuff, I'm talking nuisance barking if you know what I mean ;) Edited January 27, 2014 by kelpiecuddles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 also have they had much exposure to(sensible, dog savvy) kids or other dogs and are they desexed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ams Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 There is someone in the Blayney area of NSW seeking a Bassett Hound as a family pet. Search on Scumtree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Does say female preferred but could give them a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Her Majesty Dogmad Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to rehome a Bassett, they are very rare and there would be people out there with breed experience, it would just be a case of finding them. There is also Beagle Rescue in NSW and even if they cannot take your dog they may have homes waiting and could advertise him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_PL_ Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 If these dogs are not desexed DO NOT give them to anyone other than an established ethical rescue/r. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 No sign of the OP since yesterday and hasn't replied to my PM, hoping just busy and haven't been back and these babies go to good hands that will ensure they are properly cared for as befits these breeds, hounds need good firm owners who understand that they have strong instincts! And I agree with Powerlegs that they need to be with someone who will desex them if they haven't already been, nothing worse than breeds like bassets getting in to the hands of people with no clue who will just breed for a quick buck without regard for their health.

is2jebus Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Hi all, Thank you all for your responses. Sorry I've not been able to reply promptly. I've just got back to work today and haven't had a chance to check my responses. This is all new to me and I truly appreciate all your responses. Kelpiecuddles and Emma I've just replied to your messages. Again thank you both for your support. Unfortunately both my dogs aren't dessexed. I had no intention of breeding them. But if this is an issue I can arrange for my local vet to have this procedure done. I'll attach a photo of my dogs for everyone to see. If you'd like to know more information please do not hesitate to ask. Thanks again for all your support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) Looking at the photo and now knowing he's from local to me I suspect I know the breeder of this dog. If we can get him down to me I'll talk to her further about him and organise to have him desexed if his breeder doesn't want him entire. I have sent her a message to see if he's likely to be one of hers Edited January 28, 2014 by kelpiecuddles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixeduppup Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Ethical rescue only or desex them before finding a private home for them. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 He looks so much like her old boy, I'd be amazed if he's not at least very closely related! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I have advised the OP via PM that in order to rehome his dogs via this page he will need to desex them, which he stated he was happy to organise :) Unfortunately I don't have any beagle links, can anyone assist with the beagle or provide some direction who best to talk to? Just waiting to hear back from the probably breeder of the basset to see what she would like to do with regard to taking him back. It is the same breeder our possible show dog that didn't eventuate was coming from so it's a massive coincidence LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelpiecuddles Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Sounds like Roco will be heading back down here from whence he came to be assessed by his breeder and probably live out his days with us if all goes well :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest donatella Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Poor guys, very cute! Can you find someone that can take them both together, they look like mates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Her Majesty Dogmad Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Poor guys, very cute! Can you find someone that can take them both together, they look like mates Highly challenging with two different breeds unfortunately. Could take months, if ever. Best to try and find them homes individually where they have another doggie friend they will get along with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up adopting from a random home in 2014 and he was in horrible shape. He’s still alive and well and I ended up getting him desexed as soon as I got him as well as other surgery that was needed. I love him so much btw! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
