answer:I have a basset hound, her name is Lady and she is 2. Granted, she is the only dog of this particular breed that I’ve ever owned, but I have found it next to impossible to train her. I hate to say that, it makes me feel so pitiful as an owner. But compared to my beagle, or any dog I’ve owned in the past… she seems really difficult to get through to. She is convinced that every single command means “roll over.” lol But, on the plus side.. she is extraordinarily good natured. She adores all other animals, loves people, she is calm and sweet. Excellent companion.
