No because we don't hunt but they would both be the perfect hunting dogs.
Bender already has that stand pose when he smells something. He is very aware of his surroundings for how young he is and he watches birds fly in the air and he has an ear for them too. He learns so very quickly. I can teach him a new command in one to two days and he doesn't seem to forget it either.
Sophie would also be a great hunting dog since she is so very calm and has keen sense. She seems to watch small animals like squirrels and rabbits and waits than she wants to go. But she is a typical stubborn Basset. But that seems to disappear quickly if she knows you have a treat LOL! She is such a little lady and the sweetest loving dog I have ever met. She seems motherly in a way. People meet her and think she is old because of her personality. They are surprised to learn she is just shy of being a year old. Definitely a sun bathing porch dog but she has her hyper puppy moments.
They are both very loyal and follow me every where non stop
They act like brother and sister to each other though; its funny.
