Species group: Mixed Breeds

Other name(s): Bully Basset, Bull Basset, Bullet

The basics:
RightPet does not advocate the intentional cross-breeding of purebred dogs. But the reality is that most dogs available for adoption at shelters and rescues are mixed breeds. We think it might be helpful to hear from owners of these mixes to see what traits can be found in these dogs who are desperately needing homes.

The first generation Bully Basset is a cross between a pure Bulldog and a pure Basset Hound, although subsequent generations may have different proportions of the two breeds in the mix.

Appearance / health:
It's impossible to predict the exact traits inherited by a mixed-breed dog. In this case, the appearance of your pet could be very different depending on whether the Basset or the Bulldog traits dominate.

Behavior / temperament:
While it's impossible to predict the exact personality of a mixed-breed dog, in the case of the Bully Basset, you really do need to be ready for anything. You could get an impulsive scenthound that takes off after any interesting smell, or you could get a more chill pet. Either get to know the animal before you decide to adopt, or be a patient, consistent owner ready to handle whatever comes up.
