Hi everyone -

My Husband and I are looking to adopt a Lab/Bassett hound mix from our local shelter.

She is approx. 1 year old and a real sweetheart (and very interesting looking I must say!)

We have a farily good sized yard, big house (no kids yet), and we also have a cabin in the mountains (Colorado). I'm a bit concerned that she might discover all of those mountain animal scents and take off (which we obviously wouldn't want). We would keep her on a long leash to prevent this, but would love to have her just lay around outside w/ us without being tied up. That's one of my concerns.

Does anyone have (or know anyone that has) this interesting mixed breed? I'm curious if anyone has heard of anyone who has a lab/bassett mix.

Thanks much!!!!
