A true basset. You don’t like being ordered around. No doubt that treats would work getting you to do what they want, though. I don’t like being g ordered around either and bribery, treats whatever does NOT work on me.
After I got my basset, I saw a chart that listed basset personality as “stubborn, disobedient.” He could be, but more often he wanted to hear “good dog.” When he was getting an attitude, I’d say, “Where’s my good dog?” and he would get over it. I never would have tried obedience school with him, though!
My dog usually obeys but when she locks on a scent she ignores me. So far two rabbits dispatched (in our potato patch) and a few voles on the local trail. Gads, if I am not fast enough, she eats the voles. Vet just chuckled, “Yes, that’s what they do,” was her answer to my worry.

How does Fred compete in dog shows? Does he suddenly become obedient while judges are looking at him?

Fred, don’t you want more treats and hugs?
