If you’re searching for a doodle that is both friendly and great within any sort of housing situation, a bassetoodle may be the perfect dog for you. Bassetoodles are one of the newer doodles on the market so you might not have heard of it previously. Here are some of the top questions and answers about bassetoodles.

Breed Breakdown:

• What are the parent breeds: Poodle + Basset hound

• Do bassetoodles shed? Yes, but not much.

• How big do bassetoodles get? Depends on the size, but generally between 20-30 pounds.

• How much is a bassetoodle? $800-2000

• How long do bassetoodles live? 12-15 years

• What’s a bassetoodle’s temperament? Playful, athletic, smart

Do bassetoodles shed?

Because a bassetoodle is a mix between a poodle and a Basset hound (a breed that normally sheds despite their short hair), bassetoodles do shed. However, they don’t shed nearly as much as purebred Basset hounds, and compared to other dog breeds, they don’t shed as much.

Because there are different types of bassetoodles (f1 bassetoodles, etc.), your dog will shed according to the type of doodle you own. More specifically, it depends on the percentage of poodle vs. Basset hound in your dog. If your dog is more poodle, it won’t shed as much as if it was a higher percentage of Basset hound.

Are bassetoodles hypoallergenic?

No dog breed is ever really 100% hypoallergenic. All dogs have fur that can shed, making it a potential issue for people who have allergies. Despite being completely hypoallergenic, bassetoodles are an allergy-friendly dog breed.

This is due to the incorporation of poodles into the breed mix. Pet dander, saliva, and urine are the three elements that produce allergic reactions. Luckily, poodles have only a single coat with low dander, and their fur is non-shedding. Therefore, if your bassetoodle is more poodle than Basset hound, your pet will be more allergy-friendly. In other words, a F1b bassetoodle will be more allergy friendly than a f1 bassetoodle.
