Anybody out there use bassett hounds for rabbit hunting? My last one passed on a couple of years ago and I have had a tough time finding any that still hunt. Seems the show dog people have breed that out of them. Loved hunting behind bassetts as in the east where the cottontails are hunted alot they don't tend to hole up as quickly with the slower bassett trailing them. I have seen both rabbits and foxes turn sit and wait for the bassett to catch up just like it was a game. Big mistake.
