Marmite - The stubborn, soft & sleepy Basset Hound

Typical day of a Basset Hounds life in just 5 minutes ...Enjoy x

[@dross1492]

I lost both of my Basset hounds, Daisy & Winston, 4 weeks apart from cancer. Miss both terribly, with Winston making my grief almost unbearable. God broke the mold when he made Basset hounds. They are the most wonderful, loving creatures on earth. Love Bassets!!

[@sandrabehrle-liebsher4805]

I completely agree that they are thee most loving creatures, I lost my two Bassets four months apart, one to cancer, the other passed from a broken heart of missing her sister. It was a long dark road that the grief overtook much of my life. Unbearable is the word. Now fast forward 6 years later, we gained another beautiful boy named Bean. So much love and life he gives us. I am sorry for your loss.

[@MrAeronca100]

We lost our wonderful 8 year old male to lymphoma two years ago it was very hard to take his loss, we have a 15 year old female that we spoil as much as we can, sadly after a 50 years of being owned by Basset's she will be our last, the older we get the heart break of losing one of these hounds it too hard to take anymore, they are only on loan from God to us for a very short time...

[@stingtail9787]

Yeah I just lost my basset Sunday she was my everything 4 13 yrs.one of the hardest losses I've ever had but she kicked ass & was a regular at buckroos my local pub.

[@greef25]

@@stingtail9787 they certainly leave a hole in heart, heartbreaking isn't it

[@susansanto298]

I am so sorry, Dan. I lost my beautiful baskets Rufus and Bubbles two years ago and still miss them terribly .I came home and found Rufus dead on the floor from heart trouble . Bubbles mourned terribly and then hurt her back and developed cancer. I had her put to sleep. My babies.

[@stevendouglascarr5517]

A neighborhood kid loved my bassets and told me once, "Bassets is the BESTEST Ones!"...I had to agree.

[@wilkbor]

Yep... He looks and acts exactly like a basset. I love him.

[@gnostie]

One day I'll get my own Basset, and we'll live happily ever after.

[@daf827]

I love Marmite. I especially love the way he is totally unfazed by the vacuum cleaner. He certainly loves his belly rubs. I dogsit a neighbor’s Basset boy. They are all so similar in their behavioral tendencies and goofy charm. Thanks for posting A Day in the Life of a Basset. Time to get Marmite a mate. Call him/her Vegomite 😍

[@greef25]

Sadly Marmite passed away few years ago now . Broke our hearts as he really was the best dog ever 💔 We went a year with no dog and our house wasn't a home. Then came along Stanley the asset Hound puppy . There are a few videos of Stanley on my KZbin page plus he has his own Instagram page stanley_the_basset_hound_uk x

[@daf827]

@@greef25 Aww, so sorry to hear that. Glad you got back on the horse, so to speak. Stanley is a great name for a Basset. My dad’s name was Stanley. I’ll check out Stanley’s page. ❤️

[@katherinepoindexter4380]

I miss my first dog I ever had. A basset hound named Cleo. I was about 4 when I got her, me and my brother got the best dog ever. gentle sweet..I want another one. I miss Cleo very much.

[@peoplehavetherights]

I had a male Basset named Alexander. Used to bark with him in our backyard. My hiking buddy in the Southern Cal mountains. He died of cancer at age 10 almost 20 years ago and I still miss him.

[@TellItAnimated]

Looks like my little Lester, such a sweet boy

[@chrissoto7187]

I love how Basset hounds have three methods of communication 1. Bark 2. Howl 3. Sleeping nosies

[@LaserRanger15]

They are by far my favorite breed. We had a great one for 13 years.

[@oliver5976]

I grew up with a Basset Hound named Csaba. He departed to the forever hunting fields many years ago. He was a very good friend, but he was a thief. I could list at least 300 things he stole from our kitchen. We still loved him so much.

[@tdoran]

At my house before this one, my Basset Zeke could open the fridge! Now he's 11 and doesn't steal so much, in fact, I was a bit sad one day about it, but then a few nights later he stole one of my pork chops (I know better than to leave food where the dogs can get it, but I just zoned) and I was like "my boy's still got it!"

[@elizabethlinsay9193]

I absolutely love the way they slurp their food and water!! And the toenails clicking on the floor! Adorable!

[@TheGoodHeart1000]

This munchkin is a scream! What a hilarious baby! From sniffing the camera to staying in his bed while the vacuuming occurs to scratching, barely the door to come back inside-just hysterical! Kisses and hugs to a real hoot! Btw, he has an awesome family!

[@sanperry]

I am completely in love with this Basset! He's lovely, thank you for posting!

[@Limerick502]

Beautiful, warm dog.

[@bryany6565]

Yes they sure do have it hard! Our family always had beagles growing up I dared to be different with getting a basset on my own. Most Loyal and connected dog I ever saw.. from learning key words, having a set routine, always curious what you are doing with your hands... in the kitchen, garage, outside.. Id call them the smartest breed... but they seem to only like to use it to be mischievous!!

[@ВячеславЗгонников-л4ф]

Очень умный и хорошо воспитанный пес 😊

[@alisonjanegibbons8708]

Marmite is adorable. Lovely personality. I can tell he's very loved. X

[@lauraschwar9262]

What a beautiful dog you have! He seems so sweet and calm.

[@carolz5090]

Oh my goodness! What a beautiful, sweet good boy! Belly and chest rubs, soft pawing at the back door, sleepy moans in his bed. 🥰

[@52narro47]

I think your Dog is Cool. I have two Basset Hounds Juan & Lulu and I love them. Thank-you for sharing- from El Paso,Texas

[@lindawhite4640]

Marmite is lovely! So cuddly and so cute. I would love to have a pup like him. Thanks for sharing! I will look for more!

[@MrStranger1944]

What a cool Basset! He really does well with the vacuum.

[@vtvargo]

OMG! He's so beautiful...I've had several Bassets in my life and cannot imagine a day without one. Always a best friend, always there to pick you up and kiss your worries away. The pitter patter of those nails on the hardwood always following you. Thank you so much for sharing him with us 🐶

[@nairamdiam]

Bassets have the best traits of cats, they are great for pepole who love cats and dogs at the same time

[@johnwhite1209]

We had a basset hound named Gigi for 14 years, she was a hunter, sniffer, loved to run trails and sleep in our bed. Snored like the devil, and 1 of the best dogs I ever had. I still miss her terribly after 9 years!

[@EdieBird]

I like how he's just like, "Yeah, vacuum all you like. I'm putting ALL the hair right back as soon as you finish."

[@sandrabehrle-liebsher4805]

I totally adore him!!! What a sweet love!!! I just love his little sleeping nook under the stairs, in his little tub bed... Precious is the sound when he drinks, barks to come in and s scratch at the door....what a beauty of a Basset boy!

[@franklamagna3889]

He's such a mush! Love when he scratched at the door!

[@isabelchanel5628]

He is adorable and you are a good mother

[@SixFeetUndr101]

Awww! He is adorable, I love when he kicks the door to be let back in the house. My basset's, Bonnie and Ferguson, would absolutely love to play with Marmite! Greetings from the USA! =]

[@teresatorres8540]

What a lovely dog I lost a Basset this year and miss her sweet face.

[@Bicketybam68]

Such a handsome young man. My girl had everyone of those exact same traits.

It took me exceptionally long time to understand you were talking about your dog and not your wife. 😢

I freaking love the Basset Hound for all of these characteristics right here!!! Such an awesome dog!

[@patmcgaw6266]

He is gorgeous , typical,Basset, they just make us smile

[@brianwilson6403]

Stubborn soft, and sleepy? Describes every Basset that I've ever had.

[@Cristinact]

A stubborn basset hound?? Nahhhhh, really? ;)

[@jesusoftheapes]

I hope that is real sarcasm . Nothing short of a buffalo is more stubborn!

[@baileysbassethounds]

Beautiful basset. Love how he was acting. We have five that act very similar.

[@davidsnow2420]

I like how when bassets lay on their sides their feet don't touch the ground.

[@patmcgaw6266]

I have 2 and they are just a different breed, I love these dogs, so stubborn but so loving, hard to resist xx

[@richardharrow1946]

he is so precious! their bodies and howls remind me of cows at times

[@richardlinville292]

Beautiful dog reminds me of mine...Roscoe.Lazy by nature with a whats in it for me attitude but loves to walk and no landmark goes unsniffed or peed on :) Best dog I ever had!

[@paulbennell3313]

Roscoe, such a cool name for a Bassett!

He's so lovable!!! Want to hug him!!

[@hillbrothersarcade7630]

Such an adorable Basset!

[@tomzeeh4955]

Bassets: imperturbable. Except for fireworks. God, I love this breed. The most bestest of all time.

[@strickerarts]

Yes the legendary Bassett hound drool and bark. 😂 Literally what mine did when he was around.

[@Panch0Pist0las]

What a dog's life! He looks like he loves his home and beautiful area outside. Looks like a country side somewhere, where traffic is no problem. I have Bear and Chloé, 2 basset hounds myself and they are just as spoiled but I live a bit closer to the city. Still, we have a park 2 minutes away..5 minute walk to get there with a quarter mile trail around it a big field on one side and forest on the other side and a fenced in tennis court they love to run around in. Mine are ify on the vacuum, one follows it until im done vacuuming and the other runs away, hides and barks at it. Both get belly rubs teeth brushed ears cleaned and brushings. Find myself asleep and petting them throughout my sleep. I wake up and I'm petting them "what" hehe. Great video and Basset Hounds are a wonderful breed loving breed!

[@Pe-S]

What a sweet, adorable little guy. :)

[@thurst6510]

LOVE IT! I had a basset hound years ago. I never thouhgt I would ever get attached to an animal but I just couldn't help my self.

[@ewurf]

Thanks for sharing. Brings back memories of my Simon and my Henry, both "at the bridge" for years now.

[@angelasmith6557]

What a lovely dog !I think he's fab

[@SandNSurf]

Oh my goodness, he is a precious baby doll ❤️

[@beard3d381]

Lovely! Ignore the trolls posting nonsense. Beautiful basset, and good for you for taking such good care of him.

[@monicafranklin7811]

Agree. I have seen many overweight animals. He is a good weight for his body/size etc. There are nasty trolls everywhere jealous have nothing to do or both.

[@michellewei7349]

+Monica Franklin I agree. People say my Basset is overweight but honestly, he's perfectly fine.

[@jesusoftheapes]

yeah those who call the basset "owner" a bad one for letting them get fat have NEVER OWNED ONE ! Basset hounds are great fat or skinny ! Mine is fit and not fat but its because he is an atypical basset with a drive to walk three times a day . The chubby bassets earn all the snacks they get and desurve to be spoiled as much as they want to be . Fat or skinny a basset hound is a good dog and they who hate on the people who fatten up their bassets can simple take a long walk off a short pear !

[@ericnelson9100]

This dog is by no means overweight, he's just right. His chest is brawny but his stomach is rather flat and based on the video he seems to get much exercise and has a healthy diet. Besides, good luck getting a BH to do something against their will!

[@HeadcrabPie]

I am thinking about getting a Basset Hound and Marmite makes me want one so much more! :)

[@greenstx]

if you want a dog that likes to lay next to you on the couch and cuddle up with you in bed, or anywhere actually, then get a basset hound. they are GREAT dogs. get a couple of them and you wont need a heater in the winter, lol. if you want a dog to go jogging with, lmao, look for a different dog. you will never regret getting a basset

[@greenstx]

one more thing. don't let some dopey breeder talk you into buying their expensive "champion bloodline" basset. as long as they are born healthy (like any dog) youll be fine. one breeder actually tried to tell me that his $1200 bassets were bred specially to be great calm family dogs. I laughed pretty hard as I hung up the phone. our basset had puppies and we sold them for $600(I have some puppy videos posted) and we had people come from Indiana and Michigan to buy them. we live in PA. im not a breeder, just a family that loves basset hounds and had puppies. good luck

[@xstanley22x40]

fantastic dogs just keep in mind they can be quite a bit stubborn and a bit difficult to train but once your past that there very very good dogs

[@koolbks8996]

Better yet, adopt from the bassett rescue!!

[@dianethurber7623]

they are stubborn but I have two and one is a brat and one is alove...so go figure

[@katherinepoindexter4380]

my first dog was a basset..and for this person who at one time was a ornery little girl I will say this. small trouble making children and basset hounds go together like melted ice cream and summer.. I miss her.

[@Obekant08]

Marmite, what an charmer!

[@micheledavis3735]

This hounds beautiful superstructure is perfect and there's not an ounce of fat on him. Additionally, his domed head is perfection! I love me some basset hounds and I care for them exactly this way...I dote.

Dogs get scared with the vacuum cleaner. The Basset not only doesnt get scared, but REFUSES to move!! :D

[@patmcgaw6266]

Typical Basset, got to love them, they are so loving, yet have no sense of personal space, my two lie on my bed and won’t move with me trying to get the sheets off, they are a different breed , make me laugh everyday , they are all the same , going walking, they sniff non stop , but so happy

[@jmie31l22]

On our 3rd Basset and they are by far the best dogs! They have such a "ruff" life! 😊🐶

Great,video so,beautiful and very sweet ,so,breathtaking and so priceless, I love him so much,I send him a big kiss😎😍😋🙄😘🤣🤩😁

[@mszoomy]

aww, he's a big sweety!! there was certainly something on the other side of that fence that smelled interesting to him, a rabbit or perhaps a horse even? He's a handsome hound, and VERY laid back, even while you vacuumed, mine would have been going nuts, she always attacked the vacuum cleaner. Enjoy your hound!!

[@danzmitrovich6250]

I love our beagles as well and there very cute and funny animals and there like having a furry R2-D2 unit next you when your driving your cars and they just love to be with us at anytime

[@alexsimonelis164]

Beautiful!

[@phlemphlam574]

One advice i'd give to any Basset Hound owner is to be cautious when they're out in the open. Once they catch a smell of something they will wonder off and wont stop until they find it. They normally don't get far since they wobble but be on the alert anyways. My hound wont go anywhere unless I pull him or carry him. Btw I love the name Marmite!

[@luv_a_nurse8960]

Oh man I just put a deposit down for a female. They don't take off on you do they. My 8yr old has been wanting one gonna surprise her for Christmas, I Been looking for a breed that is good with other animals and kids, and every time basset hounds pop up. Is there a certain way to train them so they stay with you outside.
