Basset Hounds Invade the 44th Annual Daytime Emmy Award Show

Check out our blog to find out more.

Fifty basset hounds were on stage on April 30, 2017 at the Daytime Emmy Awards Show held at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. The hounds came from Daphneyland plus a few from the Basset Hound Club of Southern California. This was the first time the academy allowed dogs on stage and was a history making event.

BHSC members Maria Bivins, Linda Ott, as well as Pam and Don Bullock along with their bassets Charolette, Ben, Sassy and Nadia waiting back stage at the Daytime Emmy Awards Show. To find out why we were invited check out the blog entry using the link above.

Producers Michael Levitt and Dimitra Molassi came back stage and greeted every handler and basset hound personally before the show.

As with all shows, even awards shows, there is a rehearsal. The producers decided to include all the dogs and handlers just to make sure everything was well staged and the timing was right.

All the dogs and handlers gathered in the lobby of the Pasadena Civic Auditorium and divided into two groups.

We all waited for the signal to walk down the isles and onto the stage.

On our way back stage some of the hounds were discovered by Christina El Moussa from the HGTV show Flip or Flop.

You can even see the segment of the program with the hounds on the Basset Rescue Network, Inc. at Daphneyland Facebook Page. The entire show can be watched online through the Daytime Emmy Facebook Page and on Twitter.
