Description

Have a male, 2 month old, Bassador puppy. Black with white and brown highlights. Has 1st vaccine but will need 2nd vaccines. Loves to go on walks, is very active and curious, and is going through potty training. Sleeps in crate and will let you know when he needs to go potty. Unable to keep since we need a fence and approval has been pushed back with months waiting. Needs space to move around. Serious inquiries only please. Will come with crate, bed, toys. Rehoming fee of $500. Information on this breed. Included pics of parents. This crossbreed mixes two very different dogs, Labrador Retrievers and Basset Hounds, for an unusual looking result. A Basador can have a wide range of personalities. Both Labs and Bassets tend to be good-natured and love to hunt, but the Basset is more of a rambler and independent thinker, while the Lab is a hard-charging go-getter. A Basador might be calm but stubborn or highly active and always ready to seek out an interesting scent. A well-bred, well-socialized Basador will be friendly. He can get along well with children and other pets if he is brought up with them, but he may be too rambunctious for families with toddlers. Caution is also warranted around cats, as both component breeds have strong hunting instincts. In appearance, he is usually short but stocky, with front legs that turn inward like those of the Basset, hanging ears and a moderately long tail. A typical Basador weighs 50 to 70 pounds, although some are smaller. Because he is a crossbreed, his traits are not fixed, so there is no guarantee that a Basador puppy will fall into the size range predicted by the breeder or adoption agency. While a Basador may inherit the good looks or hunting ability of his parent breeds, he may also inherit not-so-desirable traits, such as the Basset’s tendency toward back problems or the heavy shedding of both breeds. Basadors can learn quickly, but they can also be stubborn or have a short attention span. Keep training sessions short and fun. If you begin socialization and training early and use positive reinforcement techniques such as praise, play and food rewards, you can successfully train a Basador. Basadors can have a moderate to high activity level. They will enjoy a nice walk or active playtime each day, and if you’re interested and talented at training (and the dog's overall health is good -- your veterinarian can help determine that), they can participate in such dog sports as agility, obedience and rally. Basadors can also make great therapy dogs.
