Don't get me wrong I would have a bunch of corgis given the chance... Then there's the section on Bassett Hounds, we had Elliot. Not the most sociable guy. He soon grew fat and food aggressive. Plus I was originally looking for a hiking partner. Elliot could sniff each molecule from a single sidewalk, for almost a complete hour...the rescue took him back, hopefully to a food loving couch potato. Oh yes and the "baying of the hounds". In an open field to alert a hunting party ideal. In a small apartment with surrounding neighbors, not so much. And yes he often didn't smell so fresh...
