Here’s a picture of a simply brilliant basset handler.  She’s grown up with bassets and knows how to keep them under control.  I can learn a lot from her.

I took this photograph of her at the basset show on Monday and with her Mum’s permission have submitted it to this week’s faces photo competition (check it out). This photo shows her happy go lucky character at it’s best.

To be a brilliant basset handler you first have to get organised.

Then you can get going to show off your basset’s running skills.

This is no mean feat when you’ve got a judge scrutinising every step.

After all bassets will do what bassets do – pull and sniff!

Although bassets can pose nicely when they want to.

As their handlers can.

M looks after (well her mum does actually) Fortnum and Mason when they go on their holiday’s to stay with their basset family.  She’s an awesome basset handler that’s for sure!
