Description
Dog Breed: Basset Hound / Labrador Retriever / Mixed. Adoption Fee: $500. Fritz, one of a litter of four that was surrendered to a shelter, is a 10-month-old mix. Most likely, he is a basset/lab mix (which we call a 'Bassador'). He has a good disposition, getting along well with other dogs and people. He is happy, loves to play with his toys, and can even play fetch (sort of)! He walks very nicely, with an occasional sniff-stop, but never pulling or lunging. He loves to play with water and has been friendly with all the kids he has met so far (from 3 to 11 year-old girls). He rides well in the car, but should be tethered to keep him confined to the back.

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.
