Bassador

The Bassador is a mixed breed that combines the Basset Hound and the Labrador Retriever. Since the parents of these pups are so different, there are few standards when it comes to specific traits about the breed. Puppies from the same litter can largely differ in both appearance and size.

The Bassador is also sometimes referred to as the “Basset Lab” or the “Bessetdor”. These pups were first intentionally bred in the late 1990’s-early 2000s in North America. This mixed breed turned out to be an unusual but adorable-looking dog. The demand for the dogs began to grow, and as such, breeders began to breed them more frequently.

The Basset Lab typically weighs between 45-70 pounds. They are notorious sniffers, which they picked up from their Basset Hound parent. They have an amazing sense of smell and will do just about anything to follow a scent. Make sure to hold the leash tight when taking your pup on a walk because they might just pick up the scent of small prey and begin to chase uncontrollably!

This mixed breed is a very lovable dog and very family-oriented. They love being around their people and will not enjoy being home alone for extended periods. The Bassetdor tends to be very friendly around new people and they will love when you are having company over. There may not be an extensive amount of specific information for this breed, but it is certainly known that they make wonderful pets.
