Dutch Shepherd Forum

I had such a chuckle when I came across this dog. Im sure there are so many funny mixes out there. This one is a German Shepherd Basset hound mix. I really wonder what the temperament is like?

Love It!
My parents always told me the story of picking out their first dog together from a shelter shortly after they got married. They were looking for a big dog and found this gorgeous German Shepherd they were interested in, and then it stood up! They said it looked like someone attached basset legs to a purebred GSD. They laughed so hard and couldn't focus on the dog anymore. After they stayed and talked about it for so long, an Alaskan Malamute walked by and they were sold!

That Malamute was Brandy, my first dog ever. He passed away at the age of 14, I was 4. We became best friends after he realized I spilled a lot of cheerios from my highchair.

HAHAH What a great story Steph!

I was looking more through the pups and saw a Basset X Rott ! I fell in love! I want him so bad now. Thalie would be happy, Sadie would have someone else to chew on.

Lisa, maybe temperament is something like a Cardigan (Corgi with a tail). A friend breeds and shows Cardies and they are so much like my GSDs, just shorter!! Serious little herders.

so funny!

Look at that bassett turn out!

Awww...poor girl! Lol! One of my dogs is a pug/min pin mix....with a pretty severe underbite. Always good for at least a smile no matter what mood people are in! If she wasn't so funny about being touched by strangers I would get her into pet therapy.

Can't help wondering how they mate Must have been a funny sight

I knew a labrador x dachshund, also looked like a labrador on VERY short legs with a WAY too big head

I had to chuckle at this cutiepie! Reminds me of "Bertha", one of the dogs who live on our block....she is a Pit Bull/Dachshund (wienie dog) She looks exactly like she sounds, Pit Bull head/face/bulk with the height and length of a wienie dog. She is adorable.
