Ears were flopping and tails wagging as the Australian Basset Hound Races was held on Sunday at Caldermeade Farm & Cafe.
While the weather just held up, the event featured more than 60 Bassets, some coming from NSW and Tasmania.
It’s a free entry, fun, community event that the public and the Basset Hound owners enjoyed… many smiling faces and laughs, a few mishaps with Bassets falling over their long ears but they got up to keep racing as they do.
A DJ provided music with many doggy songs. A few Bassets socialised on the way down the racetrack which is far more important to them.
This year the event had two sponsors, A La Carte Pet Food & Knose Pet Insurance that contributed to the prizes (no money).
