We added a puppy from Moose to our pack. I also introduce the concept behind the first competitive dog shows and how they developed. Someone asked why their basset hound has longer legs than most others. Those stories and more in this episode of WOEBGON the Basset Hound Podcast.

In this episode I share what techniques scammers use to hook people. I also include true examples of people who have been scammed. Fortunately these people have either contacted a local news organization or the Better Business Bureau with their stories. They were willing to admit that they fell for a scam.Internet fraud is rampent. Scammers will do anything they can think of to get your money. I’ve concentrated on puppy scams but have also included examples from rescue. Scammers don’t care who’s contacting them or anything about them. All they care for is scamming people out of their hard earned money.Getting a dog from anyone is a highly emotional experience. People lose sense of reality and fall for these scams. They are also greatly hurt emotionally. That’s why it’s important to share this episode or at least the information to others. The more we share the fewer people will suffer from these scams.Woebgon Bassets website:woebgonbassets.comEmail:[email protected] Hound Club of America Website:basset-BHCA.orgThere is a website, PetScams.com, that lists alleged scammer’s websites.

This episode of WOEBGON explains how we acquired our first girl and information on how good breeders and rescue groups can work together. There's a lot of rhetoric these days that tries to make it look like breeders and rescue are opposites. In this episode I include information on how they actually work together. We're BOTH interested in maintaining our breed.Acquiring our first girl for breeding purposes is documented in this episode. I explain the process we went though. While it wasn't as difficult as we thought it would be that's because Pam and I had already established a good reputation in the breed. As you see we still had to make some difficult decisions. As for good breeders and rescue groups working together BOTH are extremely important to any breed. Good breeders should be producing good examples of our breed that don't end up in need of being rescued. Without them we wouldn't have a breed. The rescue groups are needed to clean up the mess of those breeders who aren't responsible for the dogs they breed. In this episode I explain an excellent example where both groups work together for the benefit of our breed. In doing so I provide an excellent place to start for those who wish to rescue a basset hound. Both groups Compliment each other and help maintain our wonderful breed.T-shirts and a custom mug are available through our website http://www.woebgonbassets.comDaphneyland VideoHTTPS://youtu.be/_6zMEH872JU?si=q3YgTqzL7jUkMIC8To help you out with asking questions I've decided to provide my email address to you here.
