Want to lead a walk?

If you want to organise a walk in your area, please let me know and I'll put it up on this site. Criteria: 5+ miles, with some woods or open moorland for a good run and ideally finish near a pub or café.

"Hurry up: I can't stay like this for ever" This is
Jemima one of our very special hounds.

Griffon Bassets

Yes, Dearie, they are Bassets (Griffon)

Ann Margaritis hounds

Three lovely hounds (Ann Margaritis)

Harry the Humper

I give up. Don't ask me. I've got no idea why Harry (the Humper) is dressed up like a turtle. Some Basset fancy dress party I suppose. Ask James. And the one below, though perhaps this is after The Party. Exhausting things these fancy dress dos.

Harry the tea

Here's another pic (below) of 40kgs Fred (Marsland)
shown on Home Page. (Mine chase these things,
never mind)

Fred + kitten

 

Millie Dodd's puppies

Those who walked with us on Dartmoor – or who have
seen the video – may remember that Millie here was
expecting pups. Regrettably only two, so the new kitchen
has shrunk to a downstars loo. Anyway, as you can see
Mother and babies are doing well.

Livy at Studland

Alfred rescue hound

Jet lagged

Mike & Jackie (from Exmouth) have just returned from Oz. They call this "Jet lagged". (And not a dry eye in the house)

Mike & Jackie

Here's another pic of their two lovely hounds:
" Just good friends"

Two bassets in same bed

We have got two beds, honest.

Basset dressed as pig

Love, cruelty  or what? If only they could talk.

And below: "Stand still will you."

  And if you want more than a mere photo, why not get your favourite hound's portrait painted? One of our group recommends David Dowbyhuz. Here's his website>
