Description
Dog Breed: Basset Hound / Labrador Retriever / Mixed. Very talented 9-year-old basset mix Meet Apollo! Apollo is NOT with Golden Gate Basset Rescue. He is a courtesy listing for Amador County Animal Services in Jackson, CA. This lovely gentleman has his "sit up" game on point. We are so surprised he's still at the Amador County Shelter. How can you resist that adorable trick? Apollo is looking for a home where he can be the one and only doggie! He's very jealous of other dogs stealing the spotlight, and who can blame him when he's got those skills! Apollo is 9 years old, short legged mix of maybe Lab and Basset Hound. He is neutered and heartworm negative. The Amador County shelter is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 10 am to 4:40 pm (closed from 1-2 pm for lunch). phone: 209-223-6378 email: animalcontrolamadorcounty.gov

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.
