Hello my name is Cedar, I'm from Minnesota!

Meet Cedar! This playful, clumsy, and delightfully goofy pup is discovering the world one tiny adventure at a time. Full of curiosity, she approaches life with her whole heart-often using her mouth to explore and play.

Cedar is in a normal teething and play-biting stage and may nip when excited. With consistent guidance, positive reinforcement, and plenty of appropriate chew toys, she's learning what's okay to chew.

She's making great progress with potty training and is getting comfortable in her crate. Like many puppies, she needs lots of rest-when overtired, she can get a bit unruly. She's thriving on a routine of 1-2 hours of activity followed by longer naps and is already sleeping through the night.

Cedar enjoys walks and car rides, and at home she loves relaxing in the yard, chewing on a favorite bone or stick, or rolling in the grass. She also has a big personality and a hound-like howl to match.

Cedar would do best in a home ready to continue her training with structure, patience, and love. Puppy classes or a trainer would help her grow into a well-mannered companion.

The Basset Hound is a unique and recognizable breed known for its long body, droopy ears, and soulful eyes. Originating from France, they were originally bred for hunting small game like rabbits due to their keen sense of smell and sturdy build. Despite their laid back and affectionate nature, Basset Hounds are also persistent and independent thinkers, which can make training a bit challenging. With their low energy levels and love for lounging, they make wonderful companion dogs for families seeking a loyal and easygoing pet.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
