Sugar Baby Week Six report

Sugar Baby at six weeks is a 5.75 point Basset Hound using our quasi-objective system.
She is Pet quality and might be bred for pet quality Basset Hounds with our permission.

AKC Standard perfect. 5 points
Aesthetically .5 points - But LOOK at that amazing ear length!
She is still the smallest of the lot at 9.2 pounds.

Short in stature, she lacks the immediate focus of a show quality Basset Hound and will need training.
Her disposition is very sweet and somewhat playful.
She is brave and loves to explore; but only with the true explorers, not on her own.

Her coloring is nearly perfect, hence the extra half point point.
I see little of the brown coming out of her coat that I see in others;
but there is a hint of brown throughout her ears, so expect a brown headed girl.
Her ermine spotting is well distributed and mostly brown.

Sugar Baby's a bit camera shy and impatient.
Her skin is ample and the slouch we look for over her eyes is good.

She shows no negative traits, but her mother has a pronounced vulva which is quite large for her size. Minus .25 points
I expect that Sugar Baby will not reach very high at show and pronounce her a 5.25 point pet quality puppy.
