Bassetoodle Temperament and Behaviour

The Bassetoodle is a mixed breed dog, the offspring of a Basset Hound and a Standard Poodle. These dogs are bred for their hunting abilities, and as a result, they are very independent, determined, and stubborn. However, they are also intelligent, loyal, and affectionate, making them great family dogs. They need a lot of exercise and are best suited for a home with a large yard or access to a park.

Bassetoodle Activity Requirements

Bassetdoodles are a fairly new hybrid dog that is becoming increasingly popular. They are a cross between a purebred English or American Cocker Spaniel and a male or a female Poodle. Because Bassetdoodles are still a fairly new combination, there isn’t a lot of information about their exercise and activity requirements. In general, they are expected to live fairly close to their Poodle parent and, like Poodles, they do not require much additional exercise. They can make very good apartment dogs. If you are thinking of adding a Bassetoodle to your family, be sure to do your research. Talk to other owners, discuss the potential risks with a breeder, and take steps to ensure you are prepared for any potential problems.
