Description
Dog Breed: Basset Hound / Poodle (Standard) / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Stumpy, a 1.5-year-old Basset Hound/Poodle mix with medium energy who balances walks and playtime with plenty of snuggles. Rescued from an Arkansas shelter where he was on the euthanasia list due to lack of space, Stumpy is now safe in Minnesota, thriving in foster care, and ready for his forever home. He’s a happy, silly, people-adoring goofball who loves being near his humans, happily following you around the house, though he’s also content curling up on the bedroom floor during quiet moments. He’s great on walks, enjoys car rides, and absolutely delights in snowy adventures (with a little help clearing his paws afterward). Stumpy is potty trained but may mark briefly in new environments until he settles into a routine, enjoys other dogs, is okay with cats with respectful introductions, and may do well with kids given thoughtful, supervised meet-and-greets. He’s working on polite greetings and can jump when excited, so continued positive reinforcement training will help him shine. A bit picky about food, he does best with a consistent, quality diet, and his Basset/Poodle coat requires regular brushing and occasional professional grooming. Stumpy will thrive in a home where his people are around often, can maintain a consistent potty schedule, enjoy daily walks and cozy cuddle time, and don’t have stability or mobility challenges due to his enthusiastic, bouncy nature. Silly, affectionate, and the perfect blend of adventure buddy and couch companion, Stumpy is ready to be your loyal, smile-inducing everyday sidekick. Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $625.00

Breed overview
Overview:
The Bassetoodle is a charming designer breed resulting from a cross between the laid-back Basset Hound and the intelligent Standard Poodle. Originating from the desire to combine the Poodle's hypoallergenic coat and sharp mind with the Basset's distinctive look and amiable nature, these hybrids vary in appearance but generally inherit the Basset's long, droopy ears and the Poodle's curly or wavy, low-shedding coat, which can range widely in color. Temperamentally, they are often described as friendly, affectionate, and intelligent, making them quite trainable. Their adaptable nature makes them potentially suitable for families and even apartment living, provided they receive adequate daily exercise and mental stimulation to prevent boredom. Regarding health, potential owners should be aware of conditions prevalent in both parent breeds, such as hip and elbow dysplasia, ear infections (due to their long ears), and certain eye conditions, necessitating responsible breeding and veterinary care.
