Our basset hound Abby and my wife and I went this weekend to the Basset Hound Club of Southern California Annual Picnic in Arcadia.
Great shots. We've been to our share of dog shows.
Did they have conformation-type competition? Does Abby compete?
Kinda. They showed everyone what a conformation competition would be like, but the day was mostly focused on simply raising funds for the various Basset Rescues in the So Cal area. Abby doesn't compete. She is kinda spoiled (well, maybe more than kinda

). Bassets are stubborn, and tend to be of their own mind. I took a couple small videos too, that if I can post to FlickR, I will connect them here. There was a howling contest and a tail wag contest.
