Daisy rocked the rally ring up until her forced, medical retirement and was the star of her competitive obedience training class. Also, there was a woman back in PA who had bassets that I watched competing in the utility classes - they were quite good! There's also a couple who sell treats & tugs & other supplies who travel to dog events towing a big yellow trailer that read "agility bassets" - I've seen their dogs run, they're good! (and hysterical!) Their 13 year old was still running at last year's UKC Premier... they can do anything
just make it worth their while to learn early on...
