I adopted my dog from the Humane Society, and all they knew about him was his estimated age, that he was a bassett hound mix, and that he had brindle coloring. I've had several people, including the vet, tell us they've never seen his coloring on a bassett hound before. I'm really curious to figure out what other breed(s) he might possibly have in him. I'm currently leaning towards daschunds. I have pictures of him on my 360 page under "Charlie." There's also a good one of him (full body shot) in one of my blogs (I can't remember which one, but it's relatively recent). Would any of you "experts" care to check out the pictures and see what you think? Thanks for any help. :)

"DAPPLE" is splotches of color, darker than the background;
"BRINDLE" is broken stripes, like a tiger or tabby-pattern; it's dark on light. 'black brindle' is copper or darker background, and near-black bitter-chocolate or black or charcoal stripes. the stripes are vertical to the body, going from spine down toward belly.
so Ur dog Charlie has brindle POINTS and a dark shaded-sable body, a great big saddle-marking from his neck to his tail, and past the midway point of his ribs.
it could be Doxie, his head looks quite slender in the muzzle; could also be Plott hound and Doxie, as the body-color and brindle are in Plotts, too, AND he has large OVAL ears.
Plotts are Coonhounds, and an American breed, developed here.
does he BAY when he barks? a sort of melodic 'yo, yo-oo, yo-ooo...', vs the sharp Doxie ear-piercing yap: 'Ar-ar-ar-ar...', which can last, it seems forever...

A purebred dog, a well-bred, carefully deliberate and reared one should normally price greater than a mutt. However these days BYBs are naming their cost, striking a fancy (stupid) title on what they're producing, and calling them infrequent fairly more often than not. Sadly there are gullible humans in the market who consider all this and part with their rough-earned cash for whatever they are told is 'higher'. Supplied you find a legitimate breeder (often through the vital Breed membership), go talk over with and investigate the position out, see mum with the litter and some adults they have, good judgment must inform you that this is a long way more prone to offer you a healthful dog. BYBs don't scan, use stock at the beginning rejected from a breeder's breeding programme considering of a enormous fault or two and so bought as a pet with the intention it should certainly not reproduce. It concerns to not a BYB re registration, so although the dogs involved are encouraged no longer for breeding, they simply go forward. If you don't specially want 'a breed', please undertake from a refuge and do not make contributions to the income of the BYB.

Hi I love dogs and through research and questioning my breeder (im a pug lover and people think they only come in black and fawn but pugs also come in white, silver and brindle) anyway, I thought at first glance that Charlie was a Bassett/Daschund mix..so i researched to see if ever either dog breed has had brindle coats in its lineage. The link below will show that infact Daschunds do indeed have brindle traits.. the following is a list of types of coat patterns daschunds can have even though some are rare they still occur...... BRINDLE, BLACK & TAN BRINDLE, DAPPLE, DOUBLE DAPPLE, SABLE, and PIEBALD... I hope that answers your question..Kisses to your mixed baby give him lots of love regardless...Happy holidays Mandee

I agree with Dachshund, I'm not sure I see Bassett in there, but it's hard to tell from one pic. Maybe Beagle or some other small hound as well? Definitely a lot of Doxie though.

Basset and DEFINATELY see the dachshund face. For certain. You're actually right, to be honest.
Oh and on a dachshund it's not called brindle, it's called dapple, so the color you're seeing on him is dapple.
see?

Now compare dapple dachshund with your dog. It's SO similar. take care.

Yes, I agree with you...looks very doxie to me...don't see a lot of brindle on him, but doxies come in "double dapple" coloring which is sort of similar.

His ears do look kind of basset-y (from the length), but with the long body, possibly dachshund or corgi as well? although bassets have long bodies too. His face shape looks kind of like my Kokomo (dachshund/corgi)... Dachshunds do have a pointier face.

My guess (and it is ONLY a guess) is doxie... but I've never heard of a brindle doxie before. Doesn't look very brindle to me though... now *this* is brindle!

There was no Charlie on your 360 oage, so I cannot give you an answer. Sorry.
