I once had a Basset Fauve de Bretagne: never again! Thing is, they are hounds, and unless you want to hunt with a hound, as opposed to bushing with a bobbery pack of mixed dogs, you'd be better off with Spaniels or terriers which can be worked closer and under more control. Although I do love to see a bit of hound work, its just not practical for me where I live.

Ive seen crosses hunt and they were pretty good little hounds ive seen pures as well and there very similar to bassets,nick valentine does hunt a fair sized pack of pbgv's possibly the largest of its kind in the uk and a friend of mine hunt's them who is a member on here, i will let him comment on here though if he want's as he like's to keep himself to himself i would own pbgv's as i have a fondness for the smaller hounds now and hunt basset's and beagle/basset's
