Happy Father’s day Magnum, Love Chaps

June 21st, 2009 - 10:10 am KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Father’s Day lovers. Chaps, like Emma is certainly one of those. One of the reasons I decided to go to a BHCA/AKC breeder for Chaps and Emma was to have a family bond with the hounds. I wanted to share pictures and stories and just smother myself in hound heritage. I guess I am a bit more obssessed about heritage than most. Except for Chaps son, Colby Chaps, we hardly ever hear from anyone. Every now and then we get a CHERISHED picture from Chaps Dad. Chaps is just the spitting image of him and I just tear up every time I see Magnum.

This picture has had a tone added to the color. Magnum is almost totally white now as you will see in the second shot.

Chap’s Daddy! Wow, you can sure see where Chaps got his looks. Oh, be still my heart!

Now this is Daddy in the bushes.

Magnum lives in FL with his family. I know he is enjoying his special day. I wonder if Chaps will be all white some day?

More wondering later…Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

    Gorgeous! Certainly Chaps got his good looks from Papa! How old is Magnum now? (Chaps is about 9 isn’t he?). Thanks for sharing the pictures.

    That is so cool that you can at least be in contact with Colby Chaps and Magnum. Be grateful for that. I’d love to know what Jethro’s Dad was up to today. Jethro is going to be one of those dogs that turns all white too. His face is all dark so it’s going to really change his looks. But it doesn’t matter. They are still the same at heart. And you know what they say…there may be snow on the rooftop, but there’s still fire in the furnace!

    Ahhmmmm…I hate to make notice of this but it looks as though Chaps’ Dad still has his hangy downies?

    Cindy – you are so funny! Yes, Mr. Man still has the goods! He was a show dog for a long, long time. He also had a few litters in his day. I will have to ask his Mom about if he is going to stay intact. I bet he is about 11 or 12 by now.

    Magnum certainly projects a handsome, distinguished image. What is his family’s last name? I would like to put him up for Basset of the Week.
