My Daughter got a Basset hound Pup, she will weigh about 60 lbs when fully grown , she is at 40 lbs now at 8 mos...
Question... she wants to eat everything she can get into her mouth good or bad.. she was camping with them over the weekend, on Mon morning she threw up what would be a large cup of sticks, stones , grass, and other debree..., How can she be trained to only eat proper food. ? she is driving me crazy watching her when she is out side by her self.... I watch her all the time , and she is fed plenty of proper food...but will still eat anything she gets into her mouth...

It's known as "Having a puppy". True as heck! The "store dog" where I work part time is a Golden, Rottie and Blue Tick, and at about 8 months old it's not unusual to see her with a chunk of asphalt and gravel in her mouth, chewing it up. Obviously, when we see her, we stop it but she's a puppy that's kinda what they do, a lot of 'em anyhow...

That's not a trait exclusive to Bassets.
She'll figure it out on her own eventually. Or she won't....

Had Springer that would eat rocks and all kinds of other chit. Cost me $400 to get a whole ham bone out of his gut.
He was stupid but still one of my best friends when I needed one.

We had a Basset years ago and he ended being 70 pounds but he wasn’t fat, just a little longer legged than the classic Basset. He was the only dog my mother ever let in the house.
I think his “wing span” was almost 30”. 😊
He grabbed a full, round ham slice off the kitchen counter when my mother turned her back one Sunday morning. 🍖 He paid for that mistake…my mother went after him with a rolled up newspaper for about ten minutes.
When our pear tree started dropping pears he’d eat the over-ripe ones, get drunk and run around the yard like a wild man for a while and flop over, passed out. When he woke up he’d do it again. 😊

Give her lots of stuff to chew on. Cow leg bones sliced lengthwise don’t splinter and allow easy access to the marrow.

Uncle had one that ate a bag of 6 mepps “0” spinners.
Buddy has one that ate his wife’s panties. I think it cost him $5,000 at the emergency vet clinic.

Had one that loved fall and corn picking time. He'd spend hours carrying ears of corn that the picker missed/dropped.

[bleep] a Bassett. Holy fugg that’s Terrible. I like most any dog. Any breed. Cept for pits. But I’ll give a close second in the negative dept to Bassett’s. Only been around like two in my life. Didn’t like either one. And I don’t think they liked me much either.

Puppy's are Puppy's
We have (2) Jack Russel's 5 years old
The Boy Buddy thinks that he is a Beaver.
He brings Sticks and Palm Frowns in the house and proceeds to chew them up and eat them and he will steel my handkerchiefs and chew them up if I leave them around.
Our little girl Flirt acts more like a cat than a dog.
Dogs have personality's and some do what they do even with training.
But Puppy's are Puppy's ya gotta watchm 24/7
