AboutNicole Expertise I will offer assistance to anyone needing help with general Basset Hound care, health and behavior/training.
I do not, however, assist those who have bred their pet. If you are responsibly breeding, you shouldn't have simple questions as your mentor should be providing you all the instruction you need.
Experience I currently own a 5 year old Basset Hound and his 6 non-basset siblings...(a mutt and 5 Boxers). I have studied dog behavior and training extensively and train my own dogs.
Organizations Buckeye Boxer Rescue
Education/Credentials I was a certified obedience instructor and a certified potty-training instructor with Petsmart and studied under a canine behaviorist.
Question What do people mean when they say that basset hounds only shed twice a year? What times of the year do they shed?
Answer Basset Hounds shed continuously throughout the year. I don't know where you received this information. Most shedding breeds will drop more hair, however, during the Spring in preparation for the warmer weather. There are 'double-coated' breeds that will blow coat twice a year, the Basset not being one of them.
