[QUOTE="wildmaven, post: 723075, member: 47775"] Funny you should mention the challenges. I just entered the fruit one today. :) Thanks! :) Bassets are known for being stubborn and, even as mixed breeds, these two have every ounce of that trait! They're also big clowns! However, they have never bayed, which is a good thing. DarbyQ sheds like crazy, but Churro doesn't. Churro's tail was violently cut off by a very mean man in Mexico. He was also kicked, shot at, starved and eventually literally scraped off of the sidewalk by the authorities. After all he's been through, there isn't an angry bone in that dog's body (though he does have shrapnel still in his neck). Top photo is him today, bottom was how they found him. See the food in front of him, he had completely given up. He had maggots, flies, infections, and stuff I can't even talk about [URL="https://ibb.co/4M5YYGN"][IMG]https://i.ibb.co/4M5YYGN/Churro-Before-After.png[/IMG][/URL] Think he's happy? [URL="https://ibb.co/M5TL3BL"][IMG]https://i.ibb.co/M5TL3BL/happychurro.jpg[/IMG][/URL] DarbyQ spent his first 2 years of his life in solitary at a rescue, where he had been given the name of [B]Trouble[/B].
