Description
Dog Breed: Pug / Basset Hound / Mixed. Subway is not a GGBR dog...he is a COURTESY LISTING for Hearts and Paws Rescue. Please contact that rescue directly at 530-304-7629 Hearts and Paws Rescue has this to say about this happy fellow: "Subway, who likely is about 5 years old, was on the euthanasia list at the Yolo County Shelter due to kennel reactivity and 'a dislike of dogs.' Once Subway came to the farm, it was clear that he was no couch potato and is actually a super play dog to all dogs, big and small. He LOVES all people. He is super social and friendly, wanting to meet everyone he sees. He has a great recall and is great on a leash. "What is he?? That is anyone's guess, but the basset in him is clear. He isn't chunky; he is just big boned. Subway especially loves big friendly dogs and he is quick to play and just as quick to poop out after play. He is very comforatble and appropriate being left for long peridos of time, expecially if he has a playmate or a large enclosure of his own. He is great in the house, sleeps soundly and he is housetrained. He is very bonded with my son and likes big men best. "Subway is obsessed with cats, so no cats for Subway. He is great around horses. For Subway, the bigger, the kinder and gentler, and the more exercise he gets, the better he becomes. He needs and desires lots of outside time and another okay dog in his life is ideal. He would make a great compaion dog to a breed like the Belgian Malinois or herding dog who can outrun and outplay him. He is really good with puppies and likes male puppies.

Breed overview
Overview:
The delightful Bassugg, a charming crossbreed between the affable Basset Hound and the comical Pug, offers a unique blend of traits. Originating from designer breeding efforts, this medium-sized companion typically inherits a sturdy, low-slung body, often with a Pug's wrinkly face and the Basset's long, droopy ears. Their short, easy-care coat can vary in color, reflecting either parent. Temperamentally, Bassuggs are known for being affectionate, laid-back, and incredibly loyal, making them excellent family pets that thrive on companionship. Their moderate exercise needs make them surprisingly suitable for apartment living, provided they receive daily walks and mental stimulation. While generally healthy, potential owners should be aware of predispositions to respiratory issues common in Pugs (due to brachycephaly) and joint problems often seen in Bassets, making responsible breeding and regular vet check-ups crucial.
