What are Golden Bassadors?

[aly]

Hmm.. I was looking through the previous dogs of the day and saw this one. I tried to search around for the breed info but couldn't find it anywhere.

This is from Jan 31, 2001

Read her story (http://DogoftheDay.com/archive/2001/January/31.html) - A Golden Bassador is their made-up name for Sadie's breed - they think she's gpt " the body of a golden retriever, the legs of a basset hound, the coat of a Labrador retriever, the ears of a collie, and the black tongue of a chow." so they decided they'd call her a "Golden Bassador!"

Ohhh :o No wonder! I thought I had read her story but guess not! That is soooo cute.

ME TOO!!! I Wish the owners of the one and only "golden bassador" would become members and share some updated pics!

[Karen]

I'll email them tonight with your messages, you never know ...

[Daisy's Mom]

I love anything with Basset in it ;)

[jedipoteat]

hey guys. I'm sadie's dad.
Thanks for the email Karen.
I'll post a couple of updated pix this afternoon when I get home.

I can't wait...how wonderful to have one of our Dogs of the Day revisit us and to see how she has grown and hear how she is doing. Thanks, Aly, Karen, and Sadie's Dad. This is going to be extra special!

[AdoreMyDogs]

Oh my gosh am I excited! I can't wait!!!

[zippy-kat]

YaY!!

[ilovehounds]

Ya I wanna see them to !! :D :D

I have a beagle/basset X and I love those little stumpy legs.

[Rottie]

Oh she is so cute! I can't wait to see new pictures. :)

[Dixieland Dancer]

I can't wait to see this beauty again either. Patience was never one of my strong suits. :eek:

[jedipoteat]

Hello guys.
I'm guessing, since the pix are stored on my server, that there's no limit to the number I can post, so here's a few.
Enjoy,
Brian (sadie's dad)

YIKES! Brian....I can't see the photos!! I need my "Sadie" fix..I'm all excited!!! I'm a computer moron so I can't help you but under "Dog General" Phred gave instructions.. HURRY! The anticipation is killing me!!!

[jedipoteat]

I'm sorry. I have asked a couple of people to look at them and can see them fine.

Are others having this problem (not able to see the pix)? If so, I might put them on a community server instead of hosting them on my own.

[3-greys-and-a-mutt]

I cannot see the pics either! :( I tried pasting in the jpg address, and going directly to the server, but it timed out. I think that may be the problem - the connection with your server is slow for some reason. Are the people you asked to check the pics, on your server as well? Perhaps they are able to pull up the pics locally where the Pet Talk page has to find them?

[jedipoteat]

Ok. It is probably a problem with my work firewall. No biggie. I used excite. They should be visable now.
:)

[3-greys-and-a-mutt]

Yay! I see her now! What a sweetheart she is! I love the third picture of her - the eyes say it all. It looks like her body and her legs have caught up to each other (to some extent) and she isn't as much of a 'low rider' anymore :D . What a great mix of breeds to have come up with this gorgeous mutt!
Thanks for posting the pics, Brian, I hope you and your family stick around and join our Pet Talk family!

[jedipoteat]

"she isn't as much of a 'low rider' anymore"

The funny thing is that her front legs are more stumpy than her back ones. It might not show from the pictures but she is still very much low to the ground.

I wish I could get some video and share it. I'm sure all puppy parents are like this but watching her play is laugh-out-loud fun.

[sammi]

She is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! What a great mix. Thank you so much for sharing her picture. She is so special. :)

[zippy-kat]

What a gorgeous lil' pup!

[Rottie]

She is so adorable!!!! What a beautiful girl! :)

[thelmalu99]

Sadie is one of the cutest pups I have ever seen! :) :) Please give her smooches from me.

[Daisy's Mom]

Oh my gosh! Sadie is sooo beautiful! Welcome to Pet Talk, Sadie's Dad! I hope to see much more of your gorgeous girl soon! I have a Basset Hound and I go gaga over stubby legs ;)

[aly]

Oh she's so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS so much for posting these updated pictures! She is just the perfect mix. Feel free to come back and post as many as you want. I would never tire of seeing this glamour girl. I love the name Sadie too. She looks sooooo sweet :)

[ilovehounds]

Ohh she is sooo adorable !

Love those stumpy legs :D

More pictures !!!!

[Dixieland Dancer]

She is a Beauty. The one of her looking out the window is priceless. It has love written all over it. Thanks for sharing the pictures. :D

[AdoreMyDogs]

She is SOOOOOOO cute!!! Were her littermates also "stubby" like she is? Do dogs get dwarfism or is that just a human thing? I think she's one of the cutest dogs I have ever seen, and her legs really are the best :)

This pic of her melts my heart :) She's just OOOOZing with love :) http://wsphotofews.excite.com/007/7q/As/O0/3P58122.jpg

Thanks SO much for posting new pics of Sadie. You are really lucky to have a dog so beautiful, adorable, and unique :) I bet there's not a single one like her in all the world!

[wolflady]

AWWWWWWWWWWW What a cutie Sadie is!!! I agree...that's a very sweet expressive face and those stubbby legs are just so precious! I love it! Give Sadie lots of smootches and hugs!!!!
