Sandy (nka Savannah)

Savannah and I bonded almost immediately. I was very surprised that she was so easy to handle and once she got over her new home she has fit right in. She is very friendly with all people and most dogs. Once she likes you, you are her friend forever. She used to bark and howl at everything while she was in the house. We worked on that and it only took three squirts from a water sprayer bottle to let her know that that behavior wasn't acceptable. Now she goes out of her dog door and barks to her heart's content. She gets excited when we go for a walk. I walk, she hunts. And she loves to run in the field near our house. She has so many great characteristics. When its time to eat, she lays on her stomach with her head on the floor and her ears are fanned out. Her nose is close to her food bowl. She is my bud and we go everywhere together. I could not have asked for a better Basset. Walter Davis
