About the Ba-Shar
The Ba-Shar is a hybrid dog that is made up of a combination of two different purebreeds. It's a cross between the Basset Hound and the Shar Pei. We've found the best method for understanding the characteristics of the Ba-Shar is to read both of its ancestors descriptions taking note of their temperaments, size and general look.

General Description
This breed is medium sized with a large head (sometimes called hippo heads).
Character
Ba-shars can be stubborn but extremely affectionate and loyal. They are very smart and learn quickly. They need a firm master with patient training. They do well with other dogs and animals if properly socialized from birth.
General Health
They have good health generally. They shouldn’t be left out in the heat. They are energetic when young. Soy products will dry out their fur and should be avoided. Some owners use conditioner twice a month and add omega vitamins to their diet.
Maintenance
They need brushing at least once a week to keep their skin stimulated. Most owners choose to give their dog a good balanced diet and extra omega oils for their skin and coat.
Ideal Environment
They are active when young and will need sufficient exercise. They like chewing on toys and bones when young. Some owners strategically place bones throughout the house to prevent furniture chewing.
