1. I love this!!

Self reliance.

Wonder how his clever self discovered this.

[Laffy Kat]

2. Yep, that's a border collie for ya.

Doggo would probably wear itself out doing this all day if given the chance.

7. Bassets, of course, take a different approach

"Oh - it's that round, inedible thing again. *Yawn* What is it with these humans?"

[Laffy Kat]

9. But how adorable!!

Those ears!

[peppertree]

10. Absolutely.

They can be a handful - but you never forget them.

23. My heart. There's something super special about hounds.

[peppertree]

24. I do recommend them

My only caveats would be: make sure you have a yard (doesn't need to be too big); and try to make it a female.

Male bassets, God bless them, can be a little too disobedient - especially when it comes to potty training, which they seems impervious to.

That said, they're great company - and you'd never have to worry about their biting someone.

25. I love all doggos but have only rescued females.

It was a family thing. Growing up my mom would only allow female pups and I'm not sure why. I have two rescued sweet gurls right now, both snoozing at the foot of my bed.

26. Aww. What a blessing.

Thank you for sharing that.

12. Okay, I'm impressed!

That dog sussed out a perfect napping place. Notice the elevated feet, and how the space seems to fit him/her.

[IcyPeas]

15. I thought the same thing... his/her butt gets the wider area of the step. And those feetz!

[peppertree]

20. That's them alright.

Sleeping is what Bassets do best - and they can make themselves comfy almost anywhere.

[calimary]

21. OMG!!! That's hilarious!

DON’T roll over, babe! STAY!

[peppertree]

22. Yeah - they're sometimes called the clowns of the dog breeds

Bassets are funny even without trying - and here's the kicker: they don't like it when you laugh at them.

Which, of course, makes them even funnier.

14. LOL!!

[peppertree]

19. Aren't they a mess?

[3catwoman3]

3. Resourceful. I do hope he has a human...

...to play with, too.

[stopdiggin]

4. smart. not terribly good at 'catching'

[Skittles]

5. good boi!

[Hekate]

6. Awwwwww

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

8. Love it!

Dogs are amazing.

[Rhiannon12866]

11. What a smart pup!

[C Moon]

13. I love it! Brilliant pup!

I love the part when he stops the ball because it started falling down too soon.
Amazing!

[wnylib]

16. That's border collies for you. Very smart dogs.

[brer cat]

17. What a clever pupper!

[zanana1]

18. I used to do that with my cat.

I'd roll a ping pong ball down the stairs. She'd run after it and catch it at the bottom of the stairs. She didn't bring it back, though.

[calimary]

27. Attaboy! Good dog!

I could watch that all day! And I suspect he could DO that all day!
