About Bassador Puppies, Breeders & DogFacts
The Bassador, a cross between the Basset Hound and the Labrador Retriever, is a medium sized hybrid recognized by designer registries such as the ACHC and IDCR rather than the AKC. Adults typically stand 13-20 inches and weigh 45-70 pounds, with a short, dense double coat that sheds year round; F1 pups often show the Basset's long body and low stance, while F1B and multigen dogs lean more Lab in build. Expect the Lab's friendly, food motivated sociability paired with the Basset's stubborn streak, strong nose, and baying voice. Suited to patient owners with a fenced yard who can commit to daily exercise and scent based enrichment.
