Ha! I have one!! One of our dogs is a golden retriever/bassett mix now. He's got the golden shaped head and coloring (and personality traits), but bassett fur type and body/legs. He's got a huge chest and his front feet are huge and turn outward when he's facing forward. He's really funny looking but we love him nonetheless. Most people think he's just an odd looking yellow lab, actually.

His freakishly loud hound-dog howl sends the coyotes scurring away, too!
