There is little better than being able to let the bassets roam off lead.  It doesn’t happen often for fear of mowing down small children, terrorising picnickers or high tailing off on an attractive scent trail.  I prefer to let the hounds cross the swing bridge at their own pace off lead as that way I can admire their ears and tails in motion from a better vantage point.

We missed our walk around the regional park for over 6 months whilst they infested the place with 1080 poison,  Now its back open we can’t get enough of the wonderful trails, views of the river and the sniffing opportunities for bassets are the best around.
