Overview of Basset Retrievers
Breed
As a newer designer dog breed, you won’t find much in the way of accurate history on record about the Basset Retriever, although it is said that the mixed breed originated in France.Breeds that need a lot of exercise are good for outdoorsy, active people, or those interested in training their dog to compete in a high-energy dog sport, such as agility.Digging into the backgrounds of the dog’s parent breeds gives you a good handle on their heritage.Without enough exercise, these breeds may put on weight and vent their pent-up energy in ways you don’t like, such as barking, chewing, and digging.
Coat
Also, ask your vet about how best to carry out regular teeth brushings.The main colors that the coat of the Basset Retriever comes in are black, chocolate, golden, and white.Trim the dog’s nails every couple of weeks, and also check paw pads every few weeks for any signs of damage that might have occurred during outdoors adventures.
Energy
As with all dogs, the Basset Retriever’s dietary needs will change from puppyhood to adulthood and will continue to change into their senior years.Beyond exercise, the Basset Retriever’s folded-over ears will require special attention.Look out for signs of infection or dirt building up and make sure to clean them regularly.You should ask your veterinarian for recommendations about your Basset Retriever’s diet, as there is far too much variation among individual dogs–including weight, energy, and health–to make a specific recommendation.
Health
As always, it’s important to schedule regular wellness visits with your dog’s vet.Basset Retrievers are generally considered to be healthy dogs, although the mixed breed can be predisposed to some of the same conditions that the Basset Hound and Golden Retriever face.Most weigh in at 40 to 70 pounds and range in height from ten to 14 inches.
Obesity
Basset Hounds are among the dog breeds prone to obesity, and it appears that the Basset Retriever shares this trait.Excess weight could have adverse health consequences such as pressure on the joints.Like the Basset Hounds who do not know when they have had enough food, the Basset Retrievers will also keep eating.Therefore, you must control the amount of food fed per day; Dog Learner advises feeding the dog twice daily, each time with a cup of dog food.
Social
Consider adoption if you decide this is the mixed breed for you!Even though the Basset Retriever got their start as a designer breed, some have ended up in shelters or in the care of rescue groups.Out of this, the Basset Retriever is usually a great family dog who will form loving and playful bonds with the adults and children in their life–as long as early socialization is carried out correctly.
Training
A safe and fenced-in back yard would be perfect.As is always the case with newer dog breeds, exact size standards might vary.Being such a smart pooch, the Basset Retriever needs to be kept mentally stimulated–so you’ll want to provide smart toys and also keep up a solid training regime so that the dog can continually be tested to learn new tricks.Exercise is also key for the dog.The Basset Retriever is a medium dog.While Basset Retrievers can adapt to smaller living spaces in general, they will still need ample outdoor access.
Grooming ??

How easy to train is she?
