This is a cruel joke to play on a dog: you mate a breed that loves to run with a breed that can’t. Those are really short legs. The quality is low because I took it with my phone camera. It is pictures like this that are the reason that I seldom leave without my digital camera. You just don’t know what you’ll see next.
Lab Bassett Mix
My baby boy is just turning 12 this year, he is a stunning basset/lab mix. I don’t believe anyone intended for his parents to breed, they just did then the puppies were dropped off at a gas station in town. But there’s nothing cruel about his existence, I do believe he enjoys being alive. He also has no trouble with movement, when he was much younger he could jump over our five foot fence, and I never seen a dog run as fast as him. Since he’s turned ten he’s slowed down a lot though. We go on nightly walks, about 2 miles, and after the first mile and a half he stops leading the way and walks by our side. He’s a perfect dog. I was just googling to show a lady at work what he looked like.
