My Leo is half Basset & I can attest to the social/loving part. Also the stubborn aspect. My DS & DIL have a pure-bred Basset (a "divorce dog"... friends were getting divorced, couldn't keep Sky so my kids took her) who is a total hoot! One time we looked in & with her tiny little stumpy legs, she had climbed up on the dining room table & was standing there, big as Dallas! Another time, she saw a stick of butter on a plate on the table & when nobody was looking, she wrapped her tongue around it & we saw it just as the last of it went down her gullet... my DH still laughs about that. She also throws her own toys when nobody will play with her.
Here's a picture of my DS & Sky, my grand dog.
