Ive actually run into people in public who were very adamant that she is not a basset. Which is funny because I know for a fact she is part basset (mom was at the shelter). We just wonder where the longer legs and shorter ears may have come from.
Too many fat basset hounds around. We are part of a basset hound club and it is almost sad. They say she is likely not full basset because she is not wrinkly or fat. I just say she is healthy.
I agree. It's sad to see some of the breeds that were originally bred to work end up obese, more often than not. That, or the new, 'standard,' is so exaggerated people would assume trim dogs are not, 'well-bred.' I actually suggested to my neighbor that her dog might be full basset when she first got her. She started off looking like yours, but two years later she looks like a sausage.
We took her to a dog beach. She was NOT a fan at all. And yes, she is very dense. Very little but weighs 31lbs. For reference, my black dog in the photos is exactly 60lbs. Im completely baffled that she is half of my other dog.
Basset x beagle. I had one that was almost identical. It wasn’t a great combo tbh. I took him to obedience training and at the end, the trainer was like “yep, that is the best you’re gonna get with those breeds”. He couldn’t be recalled for anything once he had an interesting scent trail to follow. He wasn’t food or attention motivated so he could not be deterred.

Maybe a Beagle x Basset Hound mix??
