Looks like Frank HATES that -- snarling, biting... only if he could wake up from his nap and get the incentive to do any of the above! lol What a hoot, watching him just enjoy life!
We just had the same issue with our Basset. Never seen him lose so much hair in such a short time and all the 'floofies' that needed removing. Knew we were in for some hot weather. Two weeks later it got to 41o C (105oF). Forget the weather bureau, just check your Basset!
My dog is a basset mix. She gets those floofies (I call them "tufts of fluff". By the way, what do you do to keep your house from smelling of dog? My dog has a distinctive odor. even my car smells of dog. (yes, I clean them both)
Hudson1910 It's their feet you mostly smell. If it is a corn chip type scent, then it's their feet. If it smells like something else, it's more likely that it's their ears. There are treatments found on the internet for both. We raised Basset's and are quite familiar with what you are talking about.
Corn chips???? LOL! I had a lab mix years ago and always said he smelled like stale popcorn. You don't think of a dog's feet smelling unless they step in something. Well, I guess you learn something new every day, and thank you! I will look up about the smelly feet treatment.
I am so jealous! Bozlee (Frank's twin) has tons of floofies this time of year, but he HATES having them plucked. He will grudgingly allow me to pluck one or two, then he turns his head and grumps at me warningly - "Alright, Mom, that's just about enough of that).
OMG!...I used to do that all the time with my basset!...thanks for the memories!
So did I
What an excellent Basset! Wish I could give him a big cuddle...
I love it when he rolls over on to his back. Its like "oh hey, if you are gonna be doing that, you can love my belly" haha
Frank, what a great belly.😀 Sweet. RiP, cheers...

I have a boy basset who has longer hair like Frank and he seems to shed year-round. Frank rocks!
Magnificent Frank!
Frank! Stop fighting it & lay still! LOL
