my wife and I have been dog lovers and and owners for many years; we have experience in taking care of all breeds of dogs; we take our basset hound dog on daily walks in our neighborhood for adequate socialization and exercise; we have a house with a big fenced in back yard that allows for ample room for play and socialization and your dog won't be cooped up all day; our basset hound hasn't met another dog he doesn't like; we have very flexible work hours so rest assured your dog isn't left alone at all during the day or night; your dog must be comfortable around other dogs and children; please contact me for additional details, questions, availability, and pricing structure; thank you
