Links - The Basset Hound Owners Club

bassethound-walks.co.uk is an excellent website publicising walks in the South West, for example from Cerne Abbas, Exmouth, Barbary Castle and elsewhere. Wonderful pictures and videos of Basset Hounds taken on past walks, they all look to have been great fun.
Basset Hound Welfare ‘arrange walks in various parts of the UK’. Unfortunately they don’t detail their events on their website, so to find out more contact them directly. Contact details on their website.
The two surviving branches of the Basset Hound Club organise walks throughout the year.
- The London & Northern Home Counties Branch provide information on their website if you are looking for walks in their area.
- A program of walks organised by The Midland Branch can be seen on The Basset Hound Club website together with contact details, where also you might find up to date information on all of its activities.

‘The only specialist national charity for people in their last years and their much loved, much needed companion animals.

When staying at home is no longer an option, our Pet Friendly Care Home Register lists care homes and retirement housing happy to accept residents with pets, and providing previous arrangements have been made with us we will take on life time care of a bereaved pet.
