Yellow Lab/Bassett Hound mix

[Grandy]

Hi Aly,

Thanks for asking....so far so good. She has warmed up to my husband (except when he tells her "no" when she jumps up on the kitchen counter she still cowers). Those pictures of the basset/pointer mix are SO CUTE!!! Bailey sort of has the same look (although she's tan), but her legs are longer.

She's a jumper, but overall, she is a VERY VERY sweet dog!!

Thanks so much for asking & the great advice!!

Take care,
Amy

Thats great!!!!!!!!! I hope you guys will be able to keep her and she will conquer her fears. Thanks for the update and thanks for ADOPTING rather than going to a breeder

hello my name is amanda.i have a just turned 3 year old bassett hound and lab mix.my daughter wanted to get toby for her dad on fathers and she did.i laughed when we picked him out because he came running to us with such short legs.hes so cute and everyone has to stop and ask us what breed of dog he is.the first summer we had him we went camping and he was the center of attention and everyone fell in love with him.i just have to share this story.lol....one day we had toby in the van and we stopped by my moms.anyways this man walked by and commented on what a beautiful lab he is and so we had to show him the rest and this man laughed because he didnt realize he had such short legs.he is our pride and joy!!!!!!!!!!

hi! bassett/labs are sure interesting mixes and at one point i was helping my uncle find a dog and we were looking at a beautiful black lab/bassett hound but he didn't end up getting him

we are starting to think my dog rupert is a basset/lab/pit but we arent sure. we were thinking he had basset legs, because they are shorter than a pit's or a lab's legs. we really are not sure though.

if you think she is going to run off, maybe you should consider having an invisible or underground fence so she cannot run off. if you consider those cruel or mean, as some people do, you can try one of those chains that have a wire attached from a tree to tree and then a long chain coming down from it, so she can go further than from tree to tree, but not too far. you could also just put a pole in the ground and put a retractable leash, a 15-20 feet, and then block the top so the leash cannot come off, that's what my friend does with her husky.

good luck with your new addition and keep us updated.

EDIT: Oh! I didn't see your update, I am so glad you adopted her!

Just incase you guys didn't notice, this thread is almost 4 years old... I don't think the original poster even visits PT anymore.
