Todd Basset Hound Young Male in Charlottesville, Virginia

My story
Say hello to Todd and Sheldon, BROOD's latest bonded pair!!! They are Basset mixes, around 3 years old, so still have some young dog behavior and energy. They came to BROOD after their owner became ill and no one in the family was able to take them in.Todd and Sheldon are housetrained and crate trained. Todd will seek out his crate for a mid-day nap while Sheldon can be tempted into his with some chicken. Both are skittish when it comes to loud noises like cars, motorcycles and fire-engines so they would do best in a home in a quiet neighborhood. Right now, they prefer being inside where it is quiet but would enjoy a home with a fenced yard for them to play in. Because of the city noise, they usually want to head back home when they are on a walk and can be pretty persistent about it. They are both pretty active and enjoy chasing each other around the house. They love children but would do better with older children as their energy level may be a little much for toddlers. Both boys love hard chewy toys as well as a pile of blankets to snuggle up in. They are great cuddlers and love to snooze with their humans.Todd is the dominant of the pair and likes to be in charge. He is the more vocal of the pair but not an excessive barker. He is timid and shy when meeting new people and dogs or being introduced to new surroundings so may take some time for him to adjust to his forever family and home. Todd has a favorite red toy that he carries around the house and will often sleep with. Sheldon is a follower and happy to trail behind Todd wherever he goes. He's everyone, and every dogs, best friend. He really loves treats and snacks!! He has already learned to spin in circles and is working on perfecting "sit". Sheldon likes to play catch, by himself if no one is available, and will throw a ball and chase after it. Todd and Sheldon MUST BE ADOPTED TOGETHER, they cannot be separated to different homes.

The age of many BROOD dogs is unknown, as very few come with official records.

The estimate on the dog's age is usually the initial estimate given by the receiving shelter, which may be different from that given at the time of the initial checkup.

Different veterinarians may also give different ages, and those different opinions are sometimes reflected on the record.
