Basset Shepherd

Millie is the sweetest puppy. She is very smart. She always let’s us know when she needs to go outside and WILL NOT use the bathroom inside. She loves to play with her toys and always wants some attention. She is very protective over us and we love her to death.

Brownie is a really sweet dog with a lot of energy. He is so affectionate and sweet with little kids as well as older ones. He does tend to bark at anything outside the gate, but I think it's his way of ¨protecting¨ the house. When we go on walks he gets really jumpy and barks around other dogs, or he just stares at them. When I adopted him I was informed that other dogs scared him and made him anxious. When I got to meet him he seemed very shy and scared, it took him a while to warm up. Now, he is rambunxious and energetic, and barks at almost every dog he sees. He isn't trained yet and does tend to chew things, but he's so full of love and is truly one of the sweetest dogs I´ve ever come across.

So far it has been a adventure. She is very energetic and working with manners and potty training. The potty training has been difficult because she has been having a hard time telling us when she needs to go if she is on the floor she wont tell you if she is in your lap she will tell you she needs to get down to go.

Dip is a great dog. She's very friendly once she gets to say hi to people and is only a growler. She's never bitten anyone, except as part of playing. She tends to be relaxed and laze around about 70% of the time and is extremely active the rest of the time. She is very protective of my wife and I, and of the house, but has never been aggressive towards other dogs or people. She is extremely playful, but has had a rough time learning to be gentle with puppies. She seems to be more careful around small children though. As a small puppy she was very destructive as a puppy, but she very quickly learned what was fair game to chew up and what wasn't. I don't know if it's the breed or just my dog, but she destroys toys. Her favorite duck? Head ripped off. "indestructable" frog toy? Chewed to bits. Rubber chicken? Decapitated. It helps a lot to have a real bone that is safe for her to chew so she has something to gnaw on when she chilling on the couch or anxious about being home alone. It will help protect everything you own. She likes to play rough, but you have to initiate and she never intends to cause harm. Her nails grow very fast and need to be trimmed regularly. Which is great because she absolutely hates getting them trimmed. She also sheds an unbelievable amount of fur. It's easy to sweep up, but no amount of combing stops her from growing enough hair for a new dog every week. She may be a decently high maintenance dog, but she is very loving and I wouldn't trade her for the world.

He is very energetic and loves to play fight. He struggles to tell us when he needs to use the bathroom, but he is still a great puppy and is friendly .

My Dog Roxanne is a sweet lazy dog that used to love to play with me but know is 5 and is more lazy than usual

He loves companionship. He loves ride in the car. He will bring toys for us to play with. You tell him get a certain toy by name, even if the toy is in another room. My wife's dog is very hard of hearing but she loves to roam. We can send Bandit after her dog and he will return with her within 5 to 10 minutes. He is able to go into the pasture with 12 horses and pick out my horse and return with him.

He is the best dog i could ever have! He claimed me at an adoption fair he was roughly 2 years old then (2010) i have had him since and he loves everyone and every animal! My mother law passed away from cancer but before that when she came over and or spent the night my boy never left her side!

I’ve had Jasper since he was a puppy. He’s been an amazing companion and my best friend. I love him very much and he’s such an adorable little dog.

Very well and nice. Kinda lazy, easily gets fat, very active, great for kids, stink very bad even after a bath

He is the best dog ever! He is so friendly. Guest are quickly welcomed in, if they come through the front door. If someone just shows up, he will bark and growl. He potty trained in two days. He learned quickly everyday commands. So love able.

Stormy is one of the most cuddly, laid back, sweetest puppies I have ever been around. My 7 month old daughter completely adores this puppy & I think Stormy adores my daughter just as much. She lets my daughter love on her & “pet” her nonstop. She never complains or even tries to get away from the baby loves. Trying to potty train her has been a complete nightmare though. She is 100% crate trained but we CANNOT get her to stop going to the bathroom in the house.

Our Basset Shepherd is very calm, easy to redirect, loves to socialize with people and get lots of attention. He is rarely hyper, loves to snuggle on the couch and take many naps. Doesn’t like to over-exert himself very much. Does like to play with other dogs and gets playful for this activity. Loves children and doesn’t mind cats, a caged rabbit or free range chickens - doesn’t chase them at all.

The best boy! A little excitable at times but maybe he just loves the cat.

He is a happy, rescued sweet boy. Loves to cuddle and play with his sister, Xena. With humans. No doubt he would protect his Mommy if need be.

He tends to look more like a German Shepard that god forgot to give legs. He is almost impossible to train if other dog or humans are around and is vary hyperactive. One of the hardest dogs I ever had to house train Until I Put bells on a string tied to the door he will now hit them when he needs to go out. Though once he is calmed down he is very smart and listens very well. Is stubborn but at the same times wants to please you. Loves to play and is extremely curious about everything. Extremely high energy levels but is a lovable pet at night. Very protective of the family. He has one of the happiest dispositions of any dog I have ever owned. Loves to go swimming and take car rides. He has to be around humans and will follow whoever is home around the house. Something to look out for if adopting a puppy would be to take him to the vet and checked for elbow dyspepsia this is common in basset hounds and unfortunately our pup has inherited a bad case of this. It can cause pain in his feet and shoulders at times if caught early there are some treatments available to help.

Easy to train, smart guy, absolutely loving, gentleman.

She loves water and loves to swim. She does not like to be alone. She is house trained, but very quiet about it. She goes and stands quietly at the door when she needs to go to the bathroom. She got spayed this week and doesn't seem to notice the pain. She is still very energetic and playful, but has also been a little more sleepy and cuddly.

Very loyal and loving!! This dog has a great personality! Can go from high energy playing to couch potato in the matter of minutes.

He's very excitable, loves to hide items in kennel, eats alot! Loves boiled chicken, chews on his toys constantly, loves to get h in the house, full sized dog on short legs , lots of love to give, whines when he's bored or has to go outside. Absolutely amazing dog wonderful addition to our family for sure. He loves to run ,jump, and play.

She is the best of both worlds. She's a large dog with no legs and was about 70lbs in her better days. She has the mentality of a basset with the intelligence of a German Sheppard. She is too smart some times and will escape the yard just to go to the front door. She can open almost any door or cabinet and will get into things if she thinks I won't notice. She'll also sneak things out of the fridge, garbage, or counters and hide the evidence. She couldn't care less for toys and never has. She is very gentle and loving and wants nothing more but to be next to you. She's very goofy and animated. She has a very strong personality and will talk back or will use body language and certain barks to tell you what she wants. She has been around just about every type of dog and children. She's friendly but bossy (she thinks she's everyone's mom) and allows kids to climb on her or do anything they want. She loves chasing bunnies, cats, squirrels, and birds and the hound in her does not listen but the German Sheppard in her allows her to know how to get back home. She can be extremely defensive and very scarily so to the point she repeatedly slammed into a glass window cracking it trying to go after a mail man that was for some reason putting packages on the back porch instead of the front. If you've never had a hound before than you may find yourself frustrated and in need of guidance. Those of you like me who have had mainly hounds their entire lives will find them easier than typical. Health wise she got the best also. 15 years old and still going and perfectly healthy although she is getting arthritis. She has never needed emergency care or been really sick and only needs periodic vet check ups. She can eat anything and it won't bother her. No allergies or sensitivities. All in all, she is nearly the prefect dog for most situations and families. She knows way more than anyone would ever guess. Literally the only cons are she has separation anxiety and she's very hairy and sheds allot. I'm hopeful for another couple years with her even though she's more than double her life expectancy.

Wonderful,smart,intuitive,funny,gentle and protective of need be, and very very loveable

he is sweet playful cute

Kizer is a awesome dog and I see traits of both breeds in him. He has a protective side, his bark is loud like a shepard. He definitely has the separation anxiety both breeds tend to have, therefore hes real clingy and will follow you no matter where you go, even to the bathroom lol he doesnt shed bad. Super sweet overall and definitely a good pick for an emotional support dog!

She is doing great she loves to play and meet other people loves kids and cats

Mabel was found as a baby and spent her first few months in a shelter and few foster care facilities. We rescued her at about six months. Her early experiences around different dogs and people created a very adaptable, friendly, and social dog. Mabel does have a janky hind leg, which seems to be the result of bad positioning in the womb. It, however, does not slow her down. When she is running and trotting it is hardly noticeable...she just walks with a cute swagger and stands like a ballerina. Mabel is beloved by everyone she meets. Her unique look and charismatic personality always leaves a lasting impression. She has four Hen sisters who she loves to watch over and protect. She is a joy.
