Please help pinpoint the most important health issues affecting our Basset Hounds today by filling in this survey. The survey is completely anonymous as only facts and figures are wanted, no names. Audrey Carter has kindly offered to help collate this information together with a veterinary surgeon. Results will be published on the web so you are kept fully in the picture. The list of problems may seem rather long and worrying - this does not mean that all Basset Hounds suffer from them! The aim is to find the most prevalent problems affecting our breed so that they can be investigated further.

• Please complete one form for each hound. As many copies as you require can be downloaded by clicking here or on the image to the right.
• If you know someone with a Basset Hound please give them a form to complete - the more information submitted the greater our knowledge.
• Only tick a problem box if a condition has been diagnosed by your vet - the survey must be factually correct so no guesswork please! If you are unsure please contact your vet.
• You can add further details of a particular problem, or one that is not mentioned, at the end of the survey.
• The survey is also including Basset Hounds that have died in the last 15 years.
• Please complete this form even if your Basset Hound has never had any of the conditions mentioned on the form - healthy details are needed as well!

Thank you so much for helping in the important work of keeping our Basset Hounds as healthy as possible.
