I own a male Bassit/Lab I would like to mate.?

Question

I have a dog that has the complete body of a labadore, but has little short legs like a bassit. Everyone that see's him just adores him, and I would like to have another some day. Its kind of a weird mix but he is such a smart convienient dog. I would figure they would sell like hot cakes. I was wondering if anyone had the same mix only a female.

Answer 1

My nieghbor has 12 left we took one she is tan and white. They are kinda odd looking with the short legs....

Answer 2

I have seen at least three dogs fitting this description at our local animal shelter. They don't "go like hotcakes".

What you have is a mutt. It is not some new special breed of dog, it is a mutt, a mongrel, a mixed breed. It is cute, sure. I have a mutt too who is not only cute but actually drop-dead gorgeous. People stop me on the street to comment on him. They ask me where he came from and I say with pride that I rescued him one day before he was going to be put down from the pound and if people want a dog just like him (not like there is one--dogs are individuals), they should go there. He is neutered.

Six dogs a minute are put to sleep in shelters because no one wants them. The majority are mixed breeds, though 1 in 4 is a purebred. These dogs are just as cute as yours, just as special, just as wonderful. And they are dying, because of people who have thoughts just like you're having.

Dogs are living creatures. They are not products, they are not fads, they are not accessories. They are living, feeling, thinking creatures who deserve a shot at having a good life. Right now they are dying at a shameful rate and not being given that chance because of people breeding more dogs than there is room for.

Answer 3

If you cross 2 of the same mutt, you have no way of knowing how they will turn out.

You better start making donations to the local humane society now, to help alleviate the cost of boarding these mutts you are planning on creating. Sorry for being harsh, but do you have any idea how many mutts need homes right now? How many are euthanized daily? And yes, many are lab/basset mixes.... for you to breed your dog just makes the situation so much worse.

Answer 4

So how would you feel if you knew that there's about a 90% chance that dog will never walk out of the shelter it is going to be dumped at? Purebred or not! About 50% of all of the dogs that are 'owner surrenders' or 'strays', that come into my shelter are purebred dogs. The most common excuses I hear are; 'We are moving and we can't take our dog (or cat).' Really? Where are you moving to that doesn't allow pets? Or they say 'The dog got bigger than we thought it would'. How big did you think a German Shepherd would get? 'We don't have time for her'. Really? I work a 10-12 hour day and still have time for my 6 dogs! 'She's tearing up our yard'. How about making her a part of your family? They always tell me, 'We just don't want to have to stress about finding a place for her, we know she'll get adopted, she's a good dog'. Odds are your pet won't get adopted & how stressful do you think being in a shelter is? Well, let me tell you, your pet has 72 hours to find a new family from the moment you drop it off, sometimes a little longer if the shelter isn't full and your dog manages to stay completely healthy; if it sniffles, it dies. Your pet will be confined to a small run/kennel in a room with about 25 other barking or crying animals. It will have to relieve itself where it eats and sleeps. It will be depressed and it will cry constantly for the family that abandoned it. If your pet is lucky, I will have enough volunteers in that day to take him/her for a walk. If I don't, your pet won't get any attention besides having a bowl of food slid under the kennel door and the waste sprayed out of its pen with a high-powered hose. If your dog is big, black or any of the 'Bully' breeds (pit bull, rottie, mastiff, etc) it was pretty much dead when you walked it through the front door. Those dogs just don't get adopted. If your dog doesn't get adopted within its 72 hours and the shelter is full, it will be destroyed. If the shelter isn't full and your dog is good enough, and of a desirable enough breed, it may get a stay of execution, not for long though. Most get very kennel protective after about a week and are destroyed for showing aggression, even the sweetest dogs will turn in this environment. If your pet makes it over all of those hurdles, chances are it will get kennel cough or an upper respiratory infection and will be destroyed because shelters just don't have the funds to pay for even a $100 treatment.

Here's a little euthanasia 101 for those of you that have never witnessed a perfectly healthy, scared animal being 'put-down'. First, your pet will be taken from its kennel on a leash, they always look like they think they are going for a walk, happy, wagging their tails. Until they get to 'The Room', every one of them freaks out and puts on the breaks when we get to the door; it must smell like death or they can feel the sad souls that are left in there, it's strange, but it happens with every one of them. Your dog or cat will be restrained, held down by 1 or 2 vet techs depending on the size and how freaked out they are. Then a euthanasia tech or a vet will start the process, they will find a vein in the front leg and inject a lethal dose of the 'pink stuff'. Hopefully your pet doesn't panic from being restrained and jerk. I've seen the needles tear out of a leg and been covered with the resulting blood and deafened by the yelps and screams. They all don't just 'go to sleep', sometimes spasm for a while, gasp for air and defecate on themselves. When it all ends, your pets corpse will be stacked like firewood in a large freezer in the back with all of the other animals that were killed, waiting to be picked up like garbage. What happens next? Cremated? Taken to the dump? Rendered into pet food? You'll never know and it probably won't even cross your mind, it was just an animal and you can always buy another one right?



I hope that those of you that have read this are bawling your eyes out and can't get the pictures out of your head. I do everyday on the way home from work. I hate my job, I hate that it exists & I hate that it will always be there unless you people make some changes and realize that the lives you are affecting go much farther than the pets you dump at a shelter. Between 9 and 11 MILLION animals die every year in shelters and only you can stop it. I do my best to save every life I can but rescues are always full, and there are more animals coming in everyday than there are homes.


My point to all of this: DON'T BREED OR BUY WHILE SHELTER PETS DIE!


Hate me or flag me if you want to, the truth hurts and reality is what it is. I just hope I maybe changed one persons mind about breeding their dog, taking their loving pet to a shelter, or buying a dog. I hope that someone will walk into my shelter and say 'I saw this thing on craigslist and it made me want adopt,' that would make it all worth it."

Answer 6

if you did cross them again the pups may not turn out like yours but in stead may look horible then you would be stuck with pups that wont sell. also you should never breed just to sell the pups and to make money.

Answer 7

I had a friend some time ago who mates

Answer 8

with the possible exception of west virginia, mating with animals is frowned upon in the united states.

Answer 9

don't have a match, but I have a black lab, whippet, pit-bull, mix.... cute as hell, cept for the occasional ankle biting.

...forgot she was neutered... probably explains the ankle biting

Answer 10

no good idea of mating! u will be stuck with a handful of unwanted pups.and the pups would need their mother milk so please dont mate.
