Basset Hounds |
No, we are not sipping the last of the summer wine - we always loved the breed and had wanted a Basset Hound for many years.
So, we were pleased to introduce Barembak Martini at Maursett. Nora B, as she was known to her friends, (something to do with her wrinkly stockings), became an instant hit with the Maursett Mob and, whilst not shown much, certainly did herself justice in the ring. She did, however, much prefer the comforts of a settee to recline on gracefully!
"Taylor's Barembak Martini at Maursett....calm female, having head of correct wedge shape, and lovely expression, eyes dark. Jaw strong, with teeth of correct bite. The head supported on a neck that rolled down to strong shoulders, fronting a deep chest. The ribs rounded and deep flowing back to a tight loin. Rear legs strong and with good bend of stifle. Well let down hocks. Good mover."

Nora B arrived in the world on 14th July 2002 and joined her Maursett friends shortly afterwards. At 8 weeks of age, Nora B the Basset Hound had become an important member of the Maursett family (both canine and human). |
