I have a 10 month old basset hound/ cocker spaniel mix named Sofia. I did not know there was a name for them until I did a little research. She is a wonderful dog, very affectionate but incredibly independent. She is also an escape artist and will flee the yard at any given opportunity. She is led my her nose as it is always to the ground and she buries every toy she gets her paws on. Her biggest fault is that she jumps on everyone that enters the house and I have had a very difficult time breaking her of the habit even with tips from the "dog wisperer" Her ears also need to be cleaned on a regular basis but they are the cutest, floppiest things I have ever seen and is probably the only reason that people let her get away with her continuously jumping on them.
We have a hound cockier spaniel cross he is an escape artist, we stopped him from digging most of the time but now he has figured out how to climb over the fence. We have 3 acres so he has plenty of room and doesn't need to run off. He does lots of tricks and will do as he is told if only several feet away but anymore than 6 ft away he does run off we had Hunter for 2 years and tried everything to stop his bad habit to no avail. So good luck...
I have a basset hound cocker spaniel mix for 12 years now named Jack. He is the best dog in the whole wide world. Great personality! Loves to eat and play. He thinks he is a person not a dog. They make excellent pets. At 12 he is still going strong and I love him so much!!!!
I have one they are very smart but arrogant deffo need training and on going they sniff round and run off down any rat fox or badger run which I'm working on mine was a mistake on his mum and dads part but for you guys who have kennal reg on both breeds you may be able to reg the pups but they are very very inquisitive and very very vocal and drool like mad and howl as pups and through out hope this helps but I'm still learning my self and if they don't want to do it THEY WONT !
I have a basset hound / springer spaniel mix and she is owned by her nose. And about Harka's comment about the ear problems, my Molly has the floppiest ears ever and has not once ever had an ear problem. However my rottweiler / german shephard mix has had non-stop ear problems since she was 6 months old and this is 7 years later. Great dog, emotional, outspoken, and both lazy and outgoing all at the same time.
The cocker/basset mix is known as a Hush Basset...the name comes from the Hush Puppies logo...they are a lovely breed
My cockier and bass mix is 8 months the sweetest dog he loves people most is getting used to dog his sister lives near we just found out and they meet at the park last week and went straight for each other it was great they both have singular behavior gina
Ether a basset spaniel or a cocker hound.
I have a bassett/lab and his name is TANK!
Jeffie!
I am going to tell you go by their personality then you will know what to name them ...
This cross does not have a specific name. Behaviour-wise you could get anything from hunting (hound) to flushing and retrieving (spaniel).
One thing is for sure - they will have long floppy ears that will need regular checking inside and cleaning if necessary.

There is no name for puppies born to different breeds. Some people put cutsie (or so they think) names to some mixes so that they are able to charge big bucks for the pups, but they are basically just mutts. You can get a wonderful mixed breed dog from a shelter/rescue, there is no need to buy one and fund someone's pocket for acting irresponsibly. Hopefully these pups you are getting are not from a purposely bred litter. Hopefully the owner of the female will not be responsible and have the female spayed. I also hope that you will be responsible and spay/neuter your pups.
Good luck with the new pups.
