One of the funniest parts of basset wrestling is when they square off against each other. Not making eye contact but readying themselves to launch a surprise attack.  This was a square off on one of our walks.  The objective was to be the first basset to push off down the hill. Fortnum is taking this all very seriously sitting right back on his haunches so his heels are right on the floor.  Little basset is taking no chances and keeping a little more on his toes.

Can’t tell you who won as there was a crash and burn at the bottom of the hill with basset legs flying all over as they rolled over on top of each other.  No harm done.  They were back up within seconds and squaring off again.
