The Basset Retriever is a mixed breed dog created from the Basset Hound and the Golden Retriever. Weighing 40 to 70 pounds as an adult, these dogs have ancestral hunting genes that make them excellent athletes and strong playmates. Eager to please its human family members and always happy to spend a day on the couch, the Basset Retriever can adjust to small-home living as long as it has daily outdoor access.

The north-eastern coastal state of Massachusetts was one of the first regions of the Americas where Europeans settled a few centuries ago. When settlers came to these shores, they often brought their canine companions along with them. There were two dogs on the Mayflower, and they didn’t take the long voyage from England just to keep their families company! Dogs were working animals in the early European settlements of Massachusetts, protecting livestock from wolves, foxes and other predators. Most of those first immigrant dogs were Mastiffs, Greyhounds and English Setters. By 1784, there were an estimated 30,000 dogs in the entire state.
Massachusetts dogs Duke and Huntah have sniffed out COVID-19 at more than a dozen schools in the state.
The Massachusetts state dog is named after the capital city: the Boston Terrier.
