A bassador is a member of the canine species. More specifically it is as hybrid of two breeds commonly referred to as the Basset Hound and Labrador -> Bass + ador coming from the combination of the two words in the breed.
Bassador's can come in multiple shapes and varieties of coat and color.
Typical Combinations
Black Bassadors - Black Labrador mixed with Basset Hound
Yellow Bassadors - Yellow Labrador mixed with Basse Hound
Chocolate Bassadors - Chocolate Labrador mixed with Basset Hound
Other Varieties mis-categorized as Bassadors
Golden Bassadors - Common misconception but this is a Golden Retriever mixed with a Basset Hound. The actual name for this variety is a Golden Bassetriever. Now since we are describing a mutt no one should get too bent out of shape as a Labrador is actually a labrador retriever, but any dog that is pompous enough to have a 'Golden' suffix before its breed title deserves a more grandeur name in mixed circles hence the Golden Bassetriever.
Characteristics
These dogs typically come with short legs characteristic of a Basset Hound with front paws twisted outwards. They usually also inherit floppy ears, but not always as floppy as that of a true basset hound. Fur color or coat usually follows the coat color of the labrador.
