MudFlap is a super sweetpea. I did my research before getting a Basset and everything I read said that they are really hard to housebreak. That, combined with the fact that hounds take longer to mature means that I know that I have to be verrrry patient with her and know that house training will come on her schedule, ultimately. She's so awesome otherwise, she doesn't get into things she's not supposed to, she sleeps through the night, and she doesn't bark unless she's playing. Love. Her.
