Basset Hound and ?????

Meet Limo, a newcomer to rescue. Very sweet older gentleman. He was dumped by his owners at a rural shelter to die. He is the longest dog I've ever seen, I guess that's why he was named "Limo" upon entering our rescue. What else do you think could be in him?

Cute face.


Side.


Butt shot. I was trying to get a picture of the side of his body, but he kept moving.


You never stop playing the "breed guessing game" in rescue!

bassettXlab? and the ears look like beagle. i'm guessing one parent was a bassett and one was a mix.

You're probably right

Shepherd...

I've never seen a basset or lab with those facial points. While weak in shepherd lines, for whatever reason they seem to be easily passed on. Or... another breed with tan points.

Basset x Lab or lab mix. Could even be a heanz57--but something in there is definitely a basset, and it's his eyes and head structure that are saying lab to me.

Psyfalcon, Labradors do come in those colors. It's not common, certainly, but isn't unheard of. Link:

I'm going to firmly go with Basset X Lab(mix)

I think its a basset crossed with another hound mix

I'm with Jess on this one--bassett/hound!

basset and maybe the other parent was lab and coonhound mix or lab and doberman

Poor Limo getting dumped like that!!!!! I hope that someone will give him a home. That's really sad!!!

I see doberman.

I see either dobie or shephard. This doesn't look like a basset/lab mix to me...the markings are too different. "Bassadors" (ack!!!) are becoming fairly common, unfortunately, and this dog doesn't look like this type of mix.

I know it sounds weird but to me he looks like a Bassett/Rott. His butt looks rotty to me and his markings as well. His length, legs, head are all obviously basset but I think being part rott could do the shorter ears (his are alot shorter than a bassett), the thick body, his markings and even his fur length whch looks alot like rott fur. I think if he were shepherd he would have ears that stand up, a longer, skinnier snout and thicker coat since they seem to pass that on. Do you have any "head-on" shots of him so we could see the width of his head?

The only shots I have are what I posted, but I can get a head shot this Sunday when I go back up there.

One of my friends had a dog that looked exactly like him, only her points were more red instead of tan. Her dad was a verified beagle/shepherd mix and her mom a purebred basset hound.
