Basset Retriever puppies for sale in Nova Scotia

Breed history

The Basset Retriever is a hybrid dog breed that results from crossing a Basset Hound with a Golden Retriever. As a mixed breed, the Basset Retriever doesn’t have a long or formally documented history like its purebred parents, but it has gained popularity in recent years for its unique appearance and balanced temperament. The cross likely originated in the United States during the growing trend of designer breeds in the late 20th or early 21st century, when breeders began intentionally mixing purebreds to combine desirable traits from both lines.
