My buddy has a basset mixed with english bulldog,cuttest fucking thing ive ever seen.I myself own a cho lab,best dogs in the world.When we go up north to our cabin,it sits on a tall hill and you look over a ocean of trees,at night we throw a tennis ball as far as we can and 30 min later her she comes with the ball.Also very loyal especialy over our kids ,when they were younger she would walk with them and circle them to keep them close to the house and dont come in the yard if the kids are out and she dosent know you well.
