He looks pretty well behaved. 
I've done a lot of research and bassets seem to fit our life sytle pretty well, but it always helps to get the input of an owner. |
Here is my tips for you:
These dogs are noted over-eaters. If they get a taste of Human food that's it you will be compelled to feed them constantly. They bulk up easy and as Brad noted they get over-weight easy which causes health problems.
They love to sniff - will do this for hours. Make sure you have plenty of space and they will love to roam around, however it must be fenced or else they will roam forewver chasing the scent of a varmit!
They are wonderful with Kids (my experience) and love humans and generally will cuddle up to anyone and those sad eyes hooks them in an instant!
Great choice for a pet IMHO
They are wonderful
