Basset Hound Cross Apollo’s Profile

Apollo is a six-year-old Basset Hound Cross who resembles a charming Basset Griffon Vendéen with his lovely long hair. He is a soft-hearted, exceptionally relaxed boy whose absolute favorite place to be is right by your side, happily following you around or sprawling next to you just to share your space. He is a peaceful companion who sleep indoors at night, preferring to lay comfortably on the bedroom floor close to his beloved family.

This gentle soul is fantastic with children of all ages, though he prefers his space to be respected; if kids smother him a bit too much, he will give a gentle warning nip, but he ultimately adores their company. Apollo is remarkably smart when it comes to toddlers leaving food around—he has learned that human treats aren’t always good for him and will carefully smell any fallen snacks before deciding if they are dog-friendly. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs, making him a very sweet, well-mannered household member.

When it comes to outdoor fun, Apollo thoroughly enjoys walking nicely on a leash and adores swimming with his family. He has a unique physical trait in his classic overbite, which means he prefers drinking his water out of a shallow bowl for maximum comfort. Completely toilet trained and fully settled, he is a hassle-free, loving dog who fits effortlessly into family routines.

Apollo can be adopted together with his sister Juno, offering a wonderful opportunity for a family ready to welcome a loving pair of gentle hound mixes into their home.
