Our Basset Hounds are bred from some of the finest European, Brazilian, and American pedigrees, ensuring a premium quality basset that will be loved for years to come.

Our ranch-raised Basset Hounds truly live their best lives, and we're proud to provide them with a happy and healthy environment.

We take genetic testing seriously, with all our Basset Hound parents tested for the five genetic diseases (POAG, Thrombopathia, X-Linked, Lafora, and MPS1 through PawPrint and OFA).

All of our Basset Hounds are AKC Registered, ensuring their authenticity and quality.
