What Is Archie?

• What Is Archie? Jake Sussman Posted : 5/22/2006 2:11:18 PM Hi guys. I just adopted Archie a week ago. A family friend who is a vet said that he was mostly Basset and Rhodesian Ridgeback. An unusual combo to say the least, but it makes sense b/c he's very long, short and stubborn (Basset) and has the coloring and some facial characteristic of a Rhodesian. I also think he's gotta have some dachshund in him. Take a look and let me know what you think ... thanks!

• Mikaela Ritter Posted : 5/22/2006 8:56:21 PM Perhaps he's Dachshund/Lab?  Both Dachshund and Basset give very similar body shapes - long and knobble-kneed, but his face looks much more Dachshund to me than Basset.  And it looks like his coat could have some Lab in it because it's longer than a Dachshund and I know Labs can be that color.  He's certainly very handsome and looks very...dignified almost! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Luvntzus Posted : 5/23/2006 4:12:02 AM I really doubt that he'd be that small if he were Bassett Hound mixed with a Rhodesian Ridgeback.   He looks a lot like a Dachshund. My guess for the other half would be Beagle, his ears look Beagly and his body looks like a slightly long Beagle. He's about the right size for being a Dachshund/Beagle mix also. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• thedoc617 Posted : 5/23/2006 10:06:43 AM I couldn't see the top of his back really well, does he have the 'rodesian ridge' that goes down his spine. I see more doxie than basset too. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Jake Sussman Posted : 5/23/2006 10:50:36 AM He doesn't have a distinct ridge like a Rhodesian, but when he's agitated, his fur does seem to stand up a little differently than other dogs I've had.   The main reason I bought into the Rhodesian argument is his coloring--he has deep russet fur and black skin. I've also heard that Rhodesians are extremely particular about where they go potty, as is Archie.   Whether doxie, basset and/or beagle, he's definitely a hound. Stubborn as a mule! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
