I'm Kristen S., the breeder behind AKC Basset hounds, Nelson county va located in Arrington, VA. All of our dogs are loved as family members. We cherish our puppies from birth up until they leave our arms to snuggle into yours! Our love for our dogs pushed us to begin breeding. We love to see the results of our efforts in the sweet, happy, and healthy puppies that we’re able to share with others.
