WILLIE - BASSET HOUND / AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Basset Hound / Australian Shepherd / Mixed (short coat). Our sweet Willy boy came into the rescue after being found as a stray on a golf course in Safford, Arizona. He is a super calm, chill young Basset Hound/Australian Shepherd mix, around 1 to 1.5 years old. He is a little bit of a low rider (the Basset Hound in him) and has coloring similar to an Australian Shepherd and longer hair, and he weighs about 35 pounds. He is bigger than our beagles, but he is not a large dog. He is the absolute sweetest dog. He loves his people, though I wouldn’t say he is a lap dog. He will sit next to us at times, and then loves to be in a dog bed nearby. He gets along well with other dogs, doesn’t pull on a leash on walks, and is non reactive. He does like to go for walks, and when we see another dog, he will watch them but doesn’t bark at them. He LOVES to play with toys, and will take all of them out of the basket and leave them around the house. He likes to play with our other dogs, and when they don’t want to play, he accepts the correction and goes back to his toys or his people. He doesn’t bark a lot, but sometimes is vocal when he wants to play. He is crate trained and really doesn’t make any noise in his crate. When we leave the house, we crate him, because he is still young and can be curious and may disturb things when we are gone. He sleeps in the crate at night with no noise as well.
