This is Cooper. There are some Cooper's on the Drool that are Bassets. I want to make it clear that I am not a Basset. I am a Belgian Sheepdog. I do not look like a Basset, nor would I ever be mistaken for a Basset, a beagle, a cocker spaniel....no.
This is a Basset hound.
Note the long, swingy ears.
The short hair.
The long, swingy ears.
The goofy expression.

Note the short legs.
The large feet.
Note the colors. Brown, white, black....
I am a Belgian sheepdog. Note the longish coat, the black color and the upright ears. Also the alert expression. Most Belgians have four long legs. I happen to be the sporty model with only three due to illness. But the legs are LONG, and have SMALL PAWS. Notice the white "frosting" on my elegant muzzle: it is a hallmark of the breed. We begin developing that at about two years of age. It is not because I am old. I am only ten.
Please observe than I am standing, three-legged on a table. This is the picanic table and I can still jump up there and down again, altho down is a little scarey.
