Description
Dog Breed: Basset Hound / Labrador Retriever / Mixed. Meet Archie, a 1.5-year-old neutered male Basset Hound / Retriever mix weighing approximately 65 lbs. He has been with his family since he was 10 weeks old and is a much-loved member of the household. Archie is: Up to date on all vaccines Healthy with no known medical issues Fully house trained Good with cats (curious sniffing, no chasing) Good with other dogs Has lived successfully with children Archie currently lives in a home with three children (ages 2, 5, and 7). One child has special needs and struggles with understanding dog boundaries. Despite the family’s best efforts, Archie has been repeatedly cornered and physically overwhelmed. When unable to escape, Archie has reacted defensively. For everyone’s safety, the family is proactively seeking a more suitable environment for Archie before a serious incident occurs. This is not an emergency rehome — Archie is safe and cared for, and his family is committed to keeping him until the right home is found. This decision comes from a place of love and responsibility, with Archie’s long-term well-being as the priority. Ideal home for Archie: Adults or families with older, dog-savvy children A calm household where his space can be respected Someone who understands normal canine stress signals and can advocate for him Archie needs a home that matches his needs and sets him up for success. This is a courtesy listing, and Archie remains with his current owner. Interested adopters: Please contact Nikita at 317-474-9794 for more information and vet records.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Bassetdor, a delightful cross between the Basset Hound and the Labrador Retriever, is a relatively new designer breed gaining popularity for its unique blend of traits. Originating from the desire to combine the Basset's laid-back nature with the Lab's trainability and friendliness, this medium-sized dog typically inherits the Basset's characteristic long ears and short legs, often paired with the Lab's athletic build and expressive eyes. Their coat can vary in color and texture, often reflecting the common hues of both parent breeds. Temperamentally, Bassetdors are known for being affectionate, loyal, and generally good-natured, making them excellent family pets. While adaptable, their moderate energy levels mean they thrive with regular exercise and may not be ideally suited for very small apartments without sufficient outdoor activity. Prospective owners should be aware of potential health concerns inherited from both sides, such as hip and elbow dysplasia from the Labrador and disc issues or ear infections common to the Basset Hound.
